[Tagging] "No abbreviations in names" edge case

[Arlindo Pereira]

This is even worse in countries with languages that have diactrics. Here in
Brazil it's very common to have street names with signposts such as "Jose
Street" and "José Street", and you could never tell for sure which one is
"right".


Cheers,
Arlindo Pereira
