IMHO, here in the US we have the USPS which has published standardized
street naming conventions specifically using the abbreviations. It
would seem to me that these "official" street names are what should
stick and the expansions of them should not be happening. Not to
mention how much more crowded the map labels would become.

Hi
User chdr (http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/chdr) seems to be running
a script to automatically replace street name abbreviations with the
full word.
so 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW becomes 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Northwest. Which is not the way anyone ever writes street names here
in DC.
Anyone else aware of this? Opinions? Should this be stopped?
