I'd suggest you check this page

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr

You'll see that the addr:country is supposed to be:

"The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two letter country code in upper case."

We are talking addresses not is_in.

Also addr:state can be either but it tends to be the abbreviation.

I prefer

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.
