I've added all the street name abbreviations I know to the list at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name_finder:Abbreviations#English
I think it's important that what is stored in the database must be as
unambiguous as possible. That means I totally agree with the no
abbreviations policy. It also means there's a couple of "St ....." that I
need to go back and fix to "Saint .....".
