 Hi,
 it would be an enhancement if nominatim would fuzzy search for
 "ie"<->"ei", if someone looks it up with a typo.

 Now its the case that people are starting to propagate fuzzy names in the
 database like in the following case, where someone entered a fuzzy name as
 "Key:short_name":
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8029808 - IndustrIEstraße, Vienna

 Is that an appropriate way to go?
 Best, Nick
