my address is:

USPS: 521 Waterman Ln SE
Full: 521 Waterman Lane SouthEast

But I've never, ever written it in the full form and even the
city-supplied street sign shows "Waterman Ln".

http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=%22waterman+ln%22&word2=%22waterman+lane%22 this looks like it is almost a draw (181:150). So "never ever" seems exaggerated. :-)

Nope, note the "I" in that statement. I have NEVER written it in full form. Lane, yes. SouthEast NEVER. Consider:

http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=waterman+ln+se&word2=waterman+lane+southeast

But I'm dropping out of this discussion having learned of the OSM "standard" and being made re-aware of the difference between the "data" and a "rendering" of the data.
