It makes sense, GWR being considered as official_name.

Yes, as I point out on the wiki page, it is wrong to assume that the GWR name is always what we actually want to have in OSM.
For the stuff I've checked, I have:
- resurveyed the street (checked what is actually on the sign)
- checked that OSM has the non-abbreviated Version of what is on the sign
- if there is still a conflict with the GWR, added the GWR name as
official_name (not 100% satisfactory but better than leaving a false positive around)

Hi Simon,
thanks for this list.
But I found a little problem: On french streetnames, if a word starts with an letter with an accent, the GWR-Names don't have this accent, and this isn't correct. p.e. two Streets in Fribourg: GWR-Name: Rue des Ecoles OSM-Name: Rue des Écoles (correct)
GWR-Name: Rue des Epouses OSM-Name: Rue des Épouses (correct)
And "school" in french is written as école and not ecole. The same for épouses.

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.
