Yep. I think with abbreviations, common sense isn't going to help -
let's just define some rules and stick to them. As I understand it, we
always expand "St" to "Street", even though the renderer just
contracts it again. But we could agree to never expand "St" to
"Saint". St Kilda is definitely never "Saint Kilda".
