Both unsigned_ref and visible_name have obviously been chosen
specifically to not be picked up by the usual renderers and routers,
so these consumers should probably respect the maper's intent. In
contrast to the various signed=* tags which say "this is an actual
name/ref, but you shouldn't display it to the end user" that are
intended to be used by consumers.
