The other problem is that shortening rules which work for one street
(or region) won't necessarily work in another. As wer-ist-roger
mentioned, Straße could be shortened to Str., which might be okay in
some areas (or for certain streets) but not for others. Without a
name:sh is not a good idea, because there could be a language whose code
is sh. How about short_name? This could also be localized like
short_name:en, short_name:sv etc.
I'm already using short_name for abbreviations of building names on the
Bayreuth university campus.
I don't like the idea
In some places the streets are very short. This makes it difficult to show
the name of the street in full. However, for most street names there exist a
short form. In swedish most names are of the form Foogatan (Foo street) or
Barvägen (Bar road). These are often shortened to Foog. or Barv.

street: str
vägen: v (swedish)
gatan: g (swedish)
Straße: str (german)

and it works for the general case, but not if you have a maze of short
streets with long names even when you shorten them that way.
These do require a method to specify short, and possibly shorter,
