i recently spent some quality time doing tiger review in a community

it starts with A Avenue to the south and steps through the alphabet

a de-abbreviation bot had been run on the area.
it should most assuredly _not_ have "corrected" E Ave to East Avenue,
nor should it have "corrected" N Ave to North Avenue.
please be careful with these things, folks.
Yes, the bot tried to use direction prefix tag to distinguish between
E as a letter and E for East and it turned out to be wrong in the 2006
data way too often.
i'm not sure i'm following this. there are no prefix tags that i can see
on the ways in question:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/16034490
there is a tiger:basename tag of "N", and if the name_type and alleged
directional prefix are removed, there is no residual name for the
avenue. this
seems like a gross oversight in bot design.
