Yes. To be clear, I'm not here to dictate a tagging practice to the 
community. I'm just making an observation that the state of the art does 
not currently support the tagging practice that is apparently preferred 
locally. It's your call as to whether you care as much as much of OSM does.

Precisely three commercial OSM data consumers happen to be vendors of 
text-to-speech engines, and none of those TTS engines provides robust 
functionality for expanding partially abbreviated text. (Left hand, meet 
right hand.) Maybe someday they will. Maybe this is actually an 
opportunity for an open source alternative. The rest of us just work 
with what we've got.

Over the years, OSM has implemented many things at the data level that 
has required software developers to catch up. If abbreviated ordinal 
directions are the direction that technology is headed towards in the 
future, sign me up.
