Or rather, use name:absent=true. The :absent suffix to the tag name is
nicely extensible to other tags, should that become needed:

    loc_name:absent=true (no local name, should you expect one)
    maxspeed:absent=true (although in this case perhaps better maxspeed=none)
    ncn_ref:absent=true

Ciao.                                                                Vincent.
