It is not clear to me that "Saint Catharines" is the correct unabbreviated version of the city's name. In fact it looks incorrect to me.

Thank you, Jarek.  However, I politely disagree that your logic of "it's clear to most everyone that Pine St is an abbreviation..." holds up for software logic (even as it might "to most everyone.")  This is well-established and the reasoning behind OSM's policy I noted previously.
