I'd go for not:name, because the abbreviation is not the real name and it is the convention established soon after the OS Opendata was released.
Where OS suddenly get these strange names from seems odd to me. It's almost as though they want their Opendata to be hard to use. --- cheers, Chris osm user, chillly On 18 May 2014 11:52:38 GMT+01:00, Donald Noble <[email protected]> wrote: >Has anyone else noticed that the Ordnance Survey seem to be including >more abbreviations in their Locator names, such as Gdns. and Cres. >which flag up as errors when compared to the full names in OSM? > >Is it best practice to include these as alt_name or not:name on the >OSM way?
