I just had a look at these places on OSM and indeed, they have both a POI "Village" (or "Hamlet", etc) with the set name (e.g. Cumnor), and around a polygon also called "Village" with no set name. I assume the blank name comes from this unnamed polygon then. Is this what you mention? So does that violate OSM rules for naming areas/villages? Also, you say the style itself has a bug: so is the bug in the map, in the style, or both? Should all "place=XXX" entries in points style file be followed with "& name=*"? Or should we use the option "--name-tag-list=name,place_name" or simply change mkgmap so that it does not add unnamed place_name to the map? Sorry to be daft but this is a bit confusing, considering the possible bug reasons and workarounds. Finally, if the mkgmap default style has a bug, how to report this?
