This is even worse in countries with languages that have diactrics. Here in
Brazil it's very common to have street names with signposts such as Jose
Street and José Street, and you could never tell for sure which one is
right.

Do not think multi-values in names are practical in any way.
I was only referring to exotic tags like signposted_name

Expanding abbreviations grates a bit with the on the ground rule.
Navigation applications as well as visual maps need to be able to reproduce
what the human will see on the ground - often in a language they don't

There should IMHO be an explicit tag to hold the version as displayed on the

there are 13 name:signposted in the db, not sure if there are more

I don't think we should use this key, since it clashes with the usage of
the key name for other languages (i.e. name:lg ).
Something like name_signposted would be okay though.

Hi Paul,
As long as I see hundrets of streets, (most of them in North and South
America, although that may be accidently), that abbreviate Street to St,
Avenue to Ave and much more I wouldn't bother in cases I don't know the
long term.
Even if there may be the chance to find what it means, I
After a quick search:

it seems that the name **is** an abbreviation (and for what is
lost), in which case you don't have to expand it. (perhaps add a tag
note to explain the case...)

I reckon that if it isn't an abbreviation for any extant longer name, it is
no longer an abbreviation, and has become the full name in its own right.

I think it's a waste of HDD space and a potential source of errors and
misspellings, for company names or even categorization tags (generator:type
for instance).
Nevertheless, I agree we should write Street
Thank you guys.
Ok for compression, not so much hdd space wasted.
There is a space coding issue too.
Let's take United States of America for instance :

United_States_of_America
United-States-of-America
United_States-of-America
which are as many different values.
