When adding a mother with unknown name to a child (for example Johann Schindler), webtrees offers a form where you can add her birth name and her married name. Those two "Type of name" are preselected in the input form. If you don't know the name of the mother and do not fill in anything here the following GEDCOM is generated:

1 NAME
2 TYPE BIRTH
1 NAME /Schindler/
2 TYPE MARRIED
2 SURN Schindler

The first record "1 NAME\n2TYPE BIRTH" is in my opinion illegal GEDCOM. If you don't know the name there should be no name record. The second NAME record is ok with a high probability (assumed that the mother was married to the father).

For me the offered input form is ok and helpful, but I suggest to not generate records like "1 NAME" or "1 NAME //" if the user does not enter content to this part of the form.
