Street names
Many Canadian cities and towns use the grid based structure, the
presence of numbered streets and avenues is very common.
/Suggestion:/ Name these streets/avenues with the full name (such as
51st Street Northeast) and let the renderer sort out the abbreviation
where required. Where the numbering system ends below 30, consider
spelling out the numbers.

But if that changes it so it's no longer "the name", logically that rule
doesn't apply.
It seems that in the US cities in OSM that I've looked at, mappers have
been fairly (but not completely) consistent in using full quadrant
names: Northeast, Northwest, …
Quadrant addresses in Canadian cities seem to be almost perfectly
consistent in using NE, NW, …
I must admit, the US map looks very strange with the words spelled out
in full.
