Had you followed the 50+ article discussion on this list then you'd know 
that we want something to keep certain roads that *really* don't have a 
name (as opposed to having one that is not yet mapped) from popping up 
in the noname map.

Nobody has to follow every discussion on this list but it is generally 
considered good style to read up on a topic before entering the
discussion.
