But what is the original spelling? And more important, what's the
right one?
name of highway?
name of route=street?
addr:street?

Yes, some people add addr:street to highways ...

During the last days I looked at the warnings from mkgmap in
regards to mismatch of street names, and I can only say, that
typos are everywhere.
