 For example, if I type "Main St" as the value for the "name" key, the
 value should end up saying "Main Street". This could be implemented in
 many different ways, including:

 * replacing the abbreviation after a space is typed

 * replacing the abbreviation as soon as it is recognized (this might cause
 problems, i.e. I want to type "Isle", but auto-complete recognizes "Is"
 and replaces it with "Island" instantly.)

 * replacing the abbreviation after a keyboard shortcut is pressed

 * replacing the abbreviation after the value is completely entered and
 focus has been taken away from it
