I find there are a lot more abbreviations if you look at addr:street=
rather than the name= . I suspect that with mobile entry of POI's we
are going to see more and more abbreviations being entered, just because
mobile keyboards are slow. I would applaud a bot that asked me if I
meant the nearby "Main Street" when I entered "Main St.". I would also
applaud a bot that converted loose addresses like this into better
structured relations like:

i was under the impression consensus was to type the full word, then
renderers would shorten where necessary? apparently some mappers
disagree though
