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)
I was once told that leaving out the accent on 'majuscules' is perfectly valid in French and I've certainly seen it done frequently. You might want to consider not flagging that as an error.
The same is true for Hyphens. Not even street signs in the same street agree on the correct use for them.

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.
