<p>Unless the word is "St." for Saint in English where there is no evidence that the full spelling is ever, ever used.</p>
<p>And including the word "Township" in the name may also be considered "tagging for the renderer". This place sounds like it is a "township" by virtue of some act of incorporation and its name is defined as "Mt. Lebanon" (or "Mount Lebanon").</p>

For <br /> example, Mt. Lebanon Township in Allegheny County, PA (near Pittsburgh). <br /> It is officially, in all government documents, named "Mt. Lebanon" <br /> (though the postal service continues to use its original official name <br /> Mount Lebanon), but OSM guidelines would have it mapped as "Mount <br /> Lebanon" as it is currently mapped.<br /> <br /> Presumably cases like these still follow the OSM guideline? Perhaps <br /> "official_name=Mt.
