OK.

I actually intended it for privately maintained roads, bus stops, 
buildings that are accessible to the public, and the like.

Sorry, I missed this one. I see, it is probably not useful to add 
operator to place=* POIs. Also the city ref could be viewed as clutter 
by most map users except those who are extremely interested in 
administration.

What other POIs do you think should not get brand, operator, ref added 
to the name? Only place=* and boundary=*, or do you have other examples 
in mind?

Best regards,
