Ummm....in regards to your Rule 1: Never User(sic) Abbreviations!
Is not "RD" you cite in several examples an abbreviation? Gotcha! :-)
Besides, people on this side of the pond have no idea what RD or even
Registration District mean in any type of address (excepting most
genealogists).
Brian in CA (this is not an abbreviation. I actually live in a place called
"CA".)

This note pertains to a bit of history, geography and using Legacy to
enter the info. I want to clearly designate the difference between
the locations of church events such as baptism and burial and the
civil events such as birth and death.
Adding to what Jenny has said:
Civil events - I use the name of the Registration District with a suffix of
RD.
Occasionally, I'll add the county as well. For example, I have relatives
born and bred in Wiveton in Norfolk, England. For Civil Events. I would use
Walsingham RD or Walsingham RD, Norfolk. I will, sometimes, add the parish,
so that I get Wiveton, Walsingham RD, Norfolk. This is used for Births,
Marriages and Deaths.
Church events - generally follow a standard of parish, village, county,
country.
Hence: St Mary the Virgin, Wiveton, Norfolk, England. This gets used for
baptisms/christenings, marriages and burials.
Censuses - a slightly different standard that follows what is recorded for
each
census: place, county, country. Sometimes in the larger towns or cities, I
would add a civil parish (again taken from the census).
Rule 1: NEVER USER ABBREVIATIONS!
