Not all streets have names.  Barely any street in Germany that is
outside of a town/village has a name.  I think it is only relatively
safe to assume that residential streets should have names.  And I
guess this is why maplint only warns about those if they don't.

Please, don't suggest to add no-name tags to all those streets to get
them not highlighted.

And again, osmarender is not a debug map.  It is about showing what is
there and not what is not there ;-)
