[OSM-talk] Unnamed footways for pedestrian navigation

Hi,

when using OSM for a pedestrian navigation for blind persons, the following problem appears:
* There are unnamed foodways (in the woods).
* When navigating, crossings can only be named like "unnamed footway crossing with unnamed footway".
* Using the OSM id of the way is not usable and when the way is split the ID changes.

I would like to add loc_name-tags for this and name ways like "footway from village A to B, west of footway crossing in MyWoodName"

Any suggestions?
