#2980: directional as a street name should not be abbreviated

Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: medium | Milestone: PostGIS 2.2.0
Component: pagc_address_parser | Version: trunk

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Currently tiger geocoder expects pref directions to be abbreviated, but
street names should not be.
pagc_normalize_address unfortunately does this:
{{{
SELECT predirabbrev, streetname, streettypeabbrev
FROM pagc_normalize_address('41 north st, boston, ma 02109');
-- not okay would prefer streetname = 'NORTH'
predirabbrev | streetname | streettypeabbrev
--------------+------------+------------------
| N | ST
}}}
Though this works as hoped
{{{
SELECT predirabbrev, streetname, streettypeabbrev
FROM pagc_normalize_address('41 north washington st, boston, ma 02109');
predirabbrev | streetname | streettypeabbrev
--------------+------------+------------------
N | WASHINGTON | ST
}}}
