   That assumes that the TIGER tags will always be present to assist 
with proper automatic expansion.

   And I'd rather have the US data in line with the world-wide OSM data 
where it makes sense.   That way the US can consume OSM US data with 
tools developed worldwide, without the tool writers needing to implement 
US-specific rules.

   After analysis, most of the US opinions fall on the side of no 
abbreviations.
