[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - admin_title=*

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

I prefer designation=* since it it already a widely used tag that fits the
intended purpose of the proposed admin_title=* tag. The question on whether
the value should be human-readable or machine-readable can be solved by
using correspondence tables to link the two. Barring such a table, I don't
see a catastrophic problem in automatically converting "civil_parish" to
"Civil Parish" and vice versa, to use the example in the talk page.
