[talk-au] Incorrectly expanding abbreviations

[Nick Hocking]

The ICSM website  http://www.icsm.gov.au/ has some interseting standards on
road naming etc.

E.G  A road leading up to a mountain honouring St Patrick may be called

MOUNT ST PATRICKS ROAD but not Mt Saint Patrick's Rd

It also has interesting standards for roundabouts  (e.g they must NOT have
names) and slip roads.

Maybe we should adhere to these standards in Australia and point people to
them.

On another standards matter, with the availability of nearmap it is now
becoming an issue as to whether to join footways to roads and as
to whether landuse areas should be glued to roadwaysor not.

It would be great if mappers were automatically presented with keepright or
validator output on all uploads.
