I am puzzled, I have just tried copying and pasting the rules that you
gave and using them on a small test map and it worked fine.

I am downloading austria.osm from geofabrik and will try it out
and post my results if I can't work out what you are seeing.

If you use the action:

	name ''

this will result in no name being added to the file.

More concrete example in the lines file, putting the following at the top:

highway=* { name ''}

Would result in all highway's not having a name.  There is not a ruleset
that is applied to everything unfortunately, but you can add the name rule
everywhere as needed.
