Taging for validation is already a controversial subject.
But some of your tags are even more controversial:

> validate:empty-tag-key
> validate:empty-tag-value

A tag with an empty key or an empty value is not possible/ not
allowed. Simple delete or fix the tag if you find such. Don't say to
maplint "well it's wrong, but don't care about it".

> validate:untagged-way

Again, it's nice if your validator shows untagged ways. But then
contributors must fix them either by setting the correct tag or the
highway=road or deleting them if they are too old. The aim of the
validator is to clean-up the database, not to clean-up the map showing
errors.

> validate:deprecated-tags
> validate:motorway-without-ref

Same thing : if maplint complains, fix the error by fixing the mistake
in the osm db, not by adding a tag for maplint. If a tag is
deprecated, replace it by the new tag !

> validate:poi-without-name
> validate:residential-without-name
> validate:place-of-worship-without-religion

Well, this is an extension of the noname issue, now. I'm waiting the
next one complaining about the missing
"validate:highway-without-maxspeed",
"validate:highway-without-oneway",
"validate:highway-without-maxheight",
"validate:highway-without-lanes", etc..
