For places like `St Peters` and `St Leonards` the `St` abbreviation has
become widely accepted by the community to the point that it's almost no
longer an abbreviation. So I'd say it should be `St Peters` and not use
`Saint Peters` even as an alt_name.
Maybe I am missing something here, but to my mind road and place naming
is pretty clear cut. See:-
"Guidelines for the determination of place names" a fact sheet by the
Geographic Names Board of NSW
To avoid future misuse of the tag there needs to be 2 tags
One for cleansing - elimination of contaminates
The other for cleaning - beautification
If only one tag were made people would use it for both functions.
I really do want to avoid the misuse of the tag by those who cannot be
bothered

Thanks Warin,
I read your suggestion for "man_made=boot_cleansing", I'd opt for
"man_made=shoe_cleansing" since I don't wear boots but running shoes as a
runner not a hiker. The QPWS web site mentions "footwear", I think shoe
would be the most inclusive term.
P.S. Sorry I didn't reply on the

Saint or St The conventions for writing saints' names depend on the context:
whether it's a reference to the saint himself or herself, or to an institution
or place
Further thought;
I'm certain the Federal Governments 'Style Manual for authors, editors and
printers.' would have something to say on it.
It looks like I can borrow it from a local library.

Many church names in Australia have names containing 'Saint' followed by a
persons name these are are commonly abbreviated 'St'.
I expand these out to Saint. I think that is correct in the English language.
I don't think the alt_name should carry the abbreviation, nor an expanded
version.
The usage of Saint “Name” is wrong in the English language and should not be
used.
The only time you use that notation is when you write about the person
specifically.
Also in French Saint “Name” is acceptable just to be confusing, but this about
Australian names and they should all be
Hi!
The easiest way is to add alt_name with abbreviation. Also if community
agrees, it is possible to put abbreviation in the name tag (because of
rendering name on the map), but use "Saint" as alt_name.
Best Regrads,
