I tend to disagree. The details might be different what you can expect at a 
certain kind of office but that doesn't imply that we have to use different 
values.
e.g a tag like
public_office=vehicle_registration could mean DMV in California and RMV in 
Massachusetts.

or vehicle_registration=yes etc.

Generally we should avoid abbreviations.
