Check to see what happens to Long and Short locations when a GEDCOM is
transferred for wall charts or reports not available in Legacy 5. Location
notes are lost in file transfers. Excess commas in long location names look
untidy even if they are "unabiguously" specified.
Some family farms had many changes of official location names in census
districts and regions of provinces/states. The locations needed to FIND
sources are more important to a genealogist than a uniform city, county,
state, country location database. -- Elizabeth

I see it like this:
1. Use the Long Location name so the location is unabiguously and
completely specified.
2. Use the Short Locaiton Name to provide acceptable formatting ont he
screen and reports.
