The validator should whine about your data. That's the whole point of it being there. I thought there was consensus about not using these street abbreviations anywhere in the OpenStreetMap data. We've had bots transversing the planet changing these abbreviations to their full forms (mainly from TIGER data) and nobody's complained. It's also documented e.g. here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name#Abbreviation_.28don.27t_do_it.29 _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
