I'm almost done with this script. It's not a full bot, but instead

Changes in what It will do noted below.
Go ahead and finish the script, but don't run it until we get a
consensus here.
No one really objected that strongly and I am specially limited the scope
of what it does. I plan to run it tomorrow unless I get some strong
objections. The only slightly controversial part might be the removal of the
directional prefix. But this is very easy to undue.
6) The "alt_name_*" tags shall include any other names found in the "name_*"
tags which I can't make sense of. These can be hand checked later.
I'm not going to do this. Instead I am going to simply remove variants on
"name" (for example all other names in the "900 East" example). And than
leave all other name_* and *_name alone (i.e. name_1, alt_name, etc).
When the alternate name is a numbered street, it will get the ".prefix"
and ".full" tags. For example:
name: Lorna Circle
name_1: 3805 South
name_1.prefix: W
name_1.full: West 3805 South
Here is an instance where there are several names for a street:
"Antelope Drive" is also "1700 South". East of "2000 West" it is also
"State Highway 108", and west it is "State Highway 127". Also, through
Syracuse it is signed as "Syracuse Road". (I'm still investigating the
signs to see exactly what portions should be so labeled.)
This means that some sort of numbered alternatives need to be in the OSM
database. So, which set of tags do we use: "name_*" or "alt_name_*"?
Whichever it is, it needs to be standardized. This should be done
worldwide.
As I was trying to get at, my script specially does not address this. I
leave the name tags alone for the most part. I saw a lot of this in the
data I was working with and most of it will require manual cleanup.
Perhaps a more specific example of what it does would help.
Something is clearly wrong with this tagging. But since i don't know what
to do with out I just clean it up a little.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/10128991
IN:
name: South 6130 West
name_1: South 2nd West
name_2: South 200 West
OUT:
name: 6130 West
name:prefix: S
name:full: South 6130 West
name_1: 200 West
name_1:prefix: S
name_1:full: South 200 West
Notice how name_2 is gone, as that is redundant. To really fix it the
way most likely it needs to be split in two.
Here is another mess:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/10140212
IN:
name: East Ninth South Circle
name_1: 9th South Circle
name_2: East 900 South
name_3: East 9th South
name_4: East 900 South
OUT:
name: East Ninth South Circle
name_1: 9th South Circle
name_2: 900 South
name_2:prefix: E
name_2:full: East 900 South
So here, more could be done, but that can always be cleaned up better
later.
And finally here is a nice clean case:
IN:
name: East 900 South
name_1: East 900 South
name_2: East 9th South
OUT:
name: 900 South
name:prefix: E
name:full: East 900 South
loc_name: 9th South
