[OSM-talk] Is 'name' tag mandatory for a 'living_street'?

[USHAKOV, Sergey]

Hi,

the wiki page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dliving_street 
suggests that 'living_street' objects should be attributed with a 'name' 
tag. Meanwhile it is not uncommon for residential areas to have unnamed 
alleys inside, and the latter may form a complicated network that deserves 
being documented and rendered on the map.

Is it appropriate/advisable to use 'living_street' objects for these unnamed 
alleys? Another candidate might be 'service', but to my mind 'service' is 
not good as does not reflect pedestrians' priority...

Regards,
Sergey
