Here residential streets are the least likely to have names as most
residential areas are gated communities with addresses being a building name
or number within the named community, 99% of the roads (oo, the same
percentage as made up statistics ;)) in these areas have no name...

BTW... I agree, don't make osmarender layer into a debug map... there is
already the maplint layer, osmi and various other tools that can be used to
spot problems, the osmarender layer is a base map layer...
