I'd like to know what could be said for tagging ways (streets/roads) with add:suburb (or addr:county...) where the suburb (or other region/area) the road "belongs" to can NOT be spatially determined (i.e. typically runs along or forms the boundary of the suburb/area).

The addr:* namespace is for recording physical addresses ie: along
with a house number. What you are looking for is the is_in:*
namespace.

I will leave it up to the reader to figure out how useful this type of
tagging is.
