Agreed with pieren for the empty-tag-key, but are you sure an empty tag value 
is forbiden by editors ? if yes or even no, how to correct it on one go on 
the DB ? then maybe why not enlight them on a validator tool ?
( but in both case a tag to say that is useless )

Same problem, okay with pieren, don't show a problem that a basic analyse can 
enlight

same

I don't find your point in recording in the data, things that can be guessed 
by other means ?

There I don't agree with pieren, well at least if I understand it correctly, 
I'am using this tag also in the internal: namespace , and it is in no way a 
tag to say that a ref is missing.
It is made to say that a road has no ref (or no sign on the road to guess the 
ref )
