I've seen lately that too many people are complaining about the "unnamed
way" test giving too many false positives. Right now, the ways that
Validator checks for a name (or a ref, or a *_name or a *_ref) are
"motorway", "trunk", "primary", "secondary", "tertiary", "residential" and
"pedestrian". As I may infer from the wiki page(s), all of this categories
*should* have a name, so I don't understand the false positives. Maybe some
residential roads in rural areas have no name, but otherwise, i don't
undestand the problem.

So, I kindly ask people that complain for too many false positives to tell
me why any of theese roads doesn't have a name (or ref).

Regards,
Quico
