When putting locations of the Swedish furniture store in OSM, do you use name=IKEA
or name=Ikea ? Although we expand abbreviations on things like street names in OSM, company names are typically left as abbreviations (for example, "St. Mary's Bank" or "Einstein Bros. Bagels"). Often, store logos have the store name in all caps, but we capture the name in OSM as mixed case (for example "Banana Republic"). However, I generally do use all caps for store names which are pronounced as a string of letters (for example "AT&T" or "The UPS Store"). According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA , this is an acronym that is pronounced as a word and not as a string of letters. For OSM, I generally prefer "Ikea" as we like to use mixed case as opposed to all caps. That being said, "IKEA" seems to be more prevalent in OSM at the moment. Peter
