[talk-au] Can a way/road have multiple names?

[stevez at tpg.com.au]

name = foo highway ; bar highway

By the way, the tagging guidlines say that you shouldn't abbreviate to
hwy or rd or st or such. I did about 50 ways before I was reminded of
this. Duh!
It took me a few hours to fix 'em all  :-(
