7741	"Validator ""similar named ways"" check gives too many false warnings"	AM909	team	"In r5181:

The validator's ""similar named ways"" gives incorrect warnings in (at least) the following situations:

* ""East Foothill Drive"" and ""West Foothill Drive"": Should not report when the diffs are just leading or trailing cardinal directions. Can be tested by a second pass at reported errors. Run both args through '''''{{{s/East |West |North |South | East| West| North| South//g}}}''''' and then diff again. If no diff, no error should be reported.

* ""5th Street"" and ""6th Street"": Should not report when the diffs are only leading numbers. Similar to above, remove all leading numbers ('''''{{{1st |2nd |First |Second |etc.}}}''''') and diff again. No diff = no report.

In the bounding box (34.0600548, -117.7425385, 34.1251634, -117.6477814) (BLTR), at least 50 of the 56 reported ""similar named ways"" fall into one of these two (invalid) scenarios."	defect	closed	normal		Core validator	tested	duplicate	validator similar named ways	AM909
