[OSM-talk] handling street names in speech

[Stefan Baebler]

Hints to the speaker (human or TTS engine) can be provided via:
1) pronunciation tag:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Phonetics eg
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name:pronunciation
2) teach it how to expand appreviations in different languages, eg
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name_finder:Abbreviations
3) Both :)
