1. It was decided a long time ago that abbreviations are not used in tag "name" 2. the US contributors can decide to do it differently than the rest of the world for their country but they will have to explain why software developers should develop special code for them 3. the tag official_name has been created for official country names, not for streets or locations with alternative names (for that, we have alt_name) 4. although the tag name is used by Mapnik and others, please don't fulfill the tag "name" for the renderers
