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 ;-)
