I have my own (probably unpopular) opinion on that, see link below. But why does JOSM care? Shouldn't editors just treat names as any string and leave them alone? For my detailed reasoning on keeping abbreviations in the name tag, see: <http://vidthekid.info/misc/osm-abbr.html>. Note, I'm currently considering alternate views and I may propose a compromise in the future. -- David "Smith" a.k.a. Vid the Kid a.k.a.
