You seem  to be determined to force the existing tagging scheme onto a
situation for which is was not designed.  It as far better to use new
and appropriate tags that reflect the actual situation - software
support should follow fairly rapidly if you come up with a suitable
tagging scheme.

Using hamlets, villages and incorrectly named roads to try to hack the
various software will not work and is very unlikely to be supported by
any of the software.

Pierre-Alain Dorange's suggestion to use admin_level and some type of
boundary is another reasonable way to approach the problem - although
I would suggest that your probably want to create something like
admin_level=11 or maybe even 12.  6 Is definitely too low.

You may also be able to find inspiration in the tagging of Japan - my
understanding is that they have a similar approach and may already
have created a suitable scheme.
