So by the definition I see no issue of having place without a name
tag, as long as it has a name :)
Errr If it has a name, tag it. If you don't know its name then how
do you know it is a place?
for example settlements. You might assume that a human settlement has
a name. Humans are like this, they assign names to important (for
them) things to facilitate communication about them. On the other
hand, without on the ground knowledge, you will not be able to know
the name. It is completely logical that remote mappers will add
hamlets, villages (and in the past probably even towns) from aerial
imagery, without knowing their name.
A remote mapper may map landuse=residential.. and that will render.
However a remote mapper may not be able to distinguish the difference
between a hamlet and a village particularly where cultural difference
exist.
I would encourage the remote mapper to map landuse and leave the place
tag alone.
