The fact that something does not have a name should be sufficient to
indicate that there is no name.  I don't think there should be an
extra tag for that.

The validate tags should be sufficient to tell validators that they
are not complain about it.

Are there other applications that care whether something really does
not have a name or whether the name is just not know?
