Well to put a scope on things, Ian and I were playing around with some queries on IRC yesterday. Here is the result. This is the breakdown of the values for the tiger:name_type tag for all version 1 ways. So most of them will have last been touched by the original TIGER upload although way splitting means there will be a few in here from other users and may already be un-abbreviated. But I expect that to be a pretty small fraction. http://pastebin.com/LWyejSMr Obviously the values at the bottom are all silly. Probably the result of merging ways. This isn't going to help anyone and definitely needs manual cleanup: Ln; Rd; Dr; Dr But the top few values are obviously what we would want to focus on with this bot.
