No.

Use the 'operator=' to add the NASA, US Army etc, the 'name=' should 
only be the name!

We don't use road names to include reference designations (e.g. 
Macquarie Drive B87 is 'name=Macquarie Drive' 'ref=B87' not 
'name=Macquarie Drive (B87)'  ... so we should not use names to include 
operators.
