Saint -> St Abbrevation #33

Importing a database from NYC HPD, we find they use the abbrevation ST for Saint in a number of cases, which causes the following address to fail:

70 ST MARKS PLACE, New York, NY 10003

But the following address succeeds:

70 SAINT MARKS PLACE, New York, NY 10003

As a work-around, we are replacing ST with SAINT if it is not the last token in the street name from the query. I'm not familiar with the internals of the geocoder, but I imagine this would be better handled at the indexing stage.
