Hello Damien: I'm "meh, OK" with an operator=STM value, but I freely say I haven't checked in completely with whomever you mean by "the minority." (I "haven't heard of" any controversy one way or the other, STM or full-name. But that isn't saying much on my part). I watch what's up with North American rail and it seems that key-value pair is somewhere around the beginning of correct, at least from my perspective, fwiw. Being right on it (there) you are way more on it than I am. I'm sorta like a linguist here.
However, OSM does have a short_name key and I'd be even better with short_name=STM or alt_name=STM and operator=Société de transport de Montréal if you want to get dotting-of-i and crossing-of-t about it. I mean, there are wiki pages on loc_name, nat_name, official_name, short_name, alt_name and more, it's a slightly rich and deep topic in OSM and in our wiki. I say STM is somewhere around alt_name or short_name. That is one person's opinion. What happens, happens. I'm a guy typing words right now, so, yeah. I also I notice when people get my name exactly right, as I appreciate that. And look at that, both of us got "Société de transport de Montréal" exactly right too (twice), making it a good candidate value for the name=* key.
