9487	"""Nodes with same name"" test in validator is currently useless"	mkoniecz	team	"It is typical that there are multiple things with the same name, example:

osmwww:browse/node/2496192091 - hamlet
osmwww:browse/node/1791686895 - bus station in this hamlet - with the same name

It is typical that there is something more or less important and nearby are bus stations, railway stations, shops etc named after this.

I would suggest changing this test to ""Nodes with same name and type"" (with ""the same type"" meaning ""are displayed with the same icon by JOSM default style"") and exclude types of nodes that usually come in pairs or entire groups and have the same name (for start: amenity=bus_station). Maybe than it will catch something useful. 

At least in my region this test is so useless that it is always the first one disabled after resetting validator settings.

slightly related to #3669
