[Talk-ht] Evolving street names?

[Adrian Brain]

I believe the original source of street names was 

http://richard.dev.openstreetmap.org/haiti/gazetteer_bw.jpg

pointed to by http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Street_names

Though it's not instantly obvious this list is divided into Rue, Ruelle, Impasse etc.

In trying to clean up the last of the PaP streets, I am finding
examples of Ruelle X from the DMA topo, but in OSM, it is now Rue X.
There is no source listed for the data, so I can't verify which is
correct.  Do 'little ruelle' grow up to be 'big rue' over 15 years or
so?

I could change it to match the DMA Topo, but that is pretty old.
