If it's administrative, it's not necessarily the closest. I have given an
example of it, but there are multiple examples, like for this house:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/174076563, it's in gemeente Staden,
but all streets around it are in gemeente Roeselare. So you can't add those
streets to the associatedstreet relation if it's administrative. Unless all
driveways should also be part of the relation.

I thought so, as it's a general recommendation to not use relations where
spatial queries can be 100% accurate. Administrative stuff can't be 100%
accurate queried, closest street can.
