We'll need to be able to detect whether the input field is address level 1 with max length = 2 and try to look up the abbreviation in this case.

We currently don't have a plan/spec to support adapting the address-level1 data to the maxlength restriction of an input element in V2. I'd like to keep this bug open as a feature request, but it shouldn't be a blocker of V2 scope.
