I think "boundary=administrative" could be used together with some
"zone=*" tag, like "bridge=*" may be used with "highway=*" or "railway=*".
The same "zone=*" could be used with different entities (most probably
polygons, which are not administrative, but I can imagine using that for
single way or relations too).
Other thing is what "zone=*" would mean…
