[Talk-ee] Abbreviations in names

[Jaak Laineste]

 The key difference is that " mnt"->maantee is in theory and also practically 100% automatically replaceable, abbreviated first name like "P. " is never. So if needed we can replace all the mnt and pst during postprocessing or even with database bot.
