Great response. <br>
I'll
make a change to comply with the 'mechanical changes' policy ...
This
came about as I found making the changes using JOSM involved too
much
work. Rather than many clicks/key presses I'd prefer none, but to
meet the 'mechanical changes' policy I'll include one key press
per
changed name (Y or N to accept/reject the change). <br>
<br>
Where did
the abbreviation come from? I'd think this is user entered data ..
I'd rather have it then nothing. It does not comply with that Au
standard. I've simply taken what abbreviations I've found in my
local
area as the template, the software loads this in from an external
text file .. so the user can modify the data to suit. But the
'rules'
are embedded in the software so cannot be changed by the user.
What
are the 'rules'? Changes only to 'ways' tagged 'highway' and only
change the matching suffix in the 'name' tag. This suffix must be
preceded by a space, and followed by nothing else other than what
is
in the external file. The external file could contain full stops,
spaces etc., at the moment I've not come across a need to do that,
nor a upper case/lower case problem. <br>
<br>
What area/s will be
changed by this? The way it works is the user downloads the area,
saves it to a file using JOSM, operates this software on that
file,
then uses JOSM to up load the data. So the area will be up to the
user. It will not gather the data itself, nor upload the changes
itself. </p>
