I prefer state=Queensland state_code=QLD country=Australia country_code=AU which I understand is consistent with http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:is_in While there is scope for abbreviations in certain special identified categories, the norm remains that names written in full. It seems to me that the "state", "state_code", "country" and "country_code" tags make adequate provision for both.
+1 on the abbreviations. (Some take AU as Austria, AUS as Austin, Texas etc)
Been doing a few abbreviation conversions - St Rd Pl Ln and Cr to Street, Road etc.
Not doing any 'is_in' things .. thoink they should be automated to save fingers. I'm using my fingers to add tracks from bing, add street names, etc. Humm ... the St, Rd abbreviation conversions could also be automated .. So I'll be leaving those too.
