The same street shared by two cities occures on highly urbanized areas only.. But you still can locate the node or building in one of the city admin polygons. It can be helpful only in unusual cases where the address is just on the border itself and therefore unpredicatable, like a node on the admin way or a building overlapping. I don't understand why you suggest to duplicate potentially millions of identical tags when it can be easily retrieved by some query in a geospatial database (as you will have to do anyway for the county/region/state/country) just because you really need it for, let say, 0.001% of uncertain cases. Especially from someone who promotes the move of the tag 'source' from the elements to the changesets.
