When geocoding a location in Haute-Savoie, France, for example Annecy,
the geocoder returns another "département" name as
SubAdministrativeAreaName: Haute-Saone instead of Haute-Savoie.

If we geocode a location in Haute-Saône, the result is correct,
including the accented ô, so the names were not swapped, this is
probably just a manual error in data copying, however it's a pretty
serious one for French people who love their 100 "départements" ;-)

Same error if we query directly for Haute-Savoie (accuracy level 3),
the location name is returned as "Haute-Saone".

Anybody knows where to report this?
