Hey there,

I'm trying to understand how the nominatim works and i'm perplexed by 
this issue, where the state abbreviations get mangled.

osm=# select make_standard_name( 'VA' );
  make_standard_name
--------------------
  v

This happens for 5 US states.

osm=# select st, make_standard_name(st) from brian.states where st <> 
make_standard_name(st);
  st | make_standard_name
----+--------------------
  ga | g
  il |
  in | 1
  la |
  va | v
(5 rows)

This appears to be coming from the tokenstringreplacements.inc.

thanks,
Brian
