Hi Simon,
o.k. I think, in french (Switzerland), the capital letters are without an accent. I will change these names in OSM.
But, now I've found an other Problem: In Schmitten FR [1] is a road in GWR named as an short-name: F. X. Müllerstrasse. The real Name is "Franz Xaver Müllerstrasse". And in OSM it is named like this. Till now, I thinked, we shouldn't use short names in OSM. I hope, this is still right.
The problem is: if other users see on the GWR-list some other shorten streetnames, it will be possible, that they will change the name that it match to the GWR-list.

I've set up an experimental street name comparison service at http://qa.poole.ch/ch-roads/ , this generates on a per community base a list of names and compares them to the list available generated from GWR data. More information can be found here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_-_GWR_Street_and_Place_Names_Comparis...
As can be seen from the list we have a large number of locations where we have surveyed none or only a very small number of the street names. I hope that providing this service will help motivate the community to improve the situation.
