Comment:

 Fuzzy search will be addressed by the photon frontend (photon.komoot.de),
 the architecture of Nominatim itself is not suitable for it.

 Misusing short_name for propagating fuzzy names is clearly bad practice
 and not what the tag is meant for. Incidentally, the misspelled version
 will now be shown in the search results.
