Currently nodes with an operator=* tag, but without a name=* tag do not render, it would be nicer to render the operator in this case, rather than nothing.

eg I've tagged amenity=fuel with the operator, but the official name isn't known, same with supermarkets:

Bad idea, 'operator' and 'name' are not the same. If the name is missing, then add the name. For instance, I tag bank and atm separately in two elements (just a node for the atm) but I put the name only on the bank and operator only on the atm.

What's so bad about this idea exactly, and I know the operator and the name may differ. The proper legal name may not be known, but the operator is known/displayed on a sign out the front, why do I need to put the operator just to get something to render?

why do I need to duplicate the operator information just to get something to render?

Also see #2228 for a previous request.

I saw that bug request but I thought that request was asking to get operator and name rendered at the same time.

I vote against this. Implementing it would cause a large number of street litter bins to end up named after the local council causing unnecessary clutter.

This idea has some problems, closing as wontfix per hadw.

Using brand tag for selected features would be a better solution. This is discussed at gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto#698.
