First off, I like this proposal too and think it's a long time coming.
But, some references made me go and read the place=suburb wiki page again,
and that tag seems very similar, so can that distinction be clarified? That
is, why would one choose suburb over city/town/village or neighbourhood?

No, suburb is actually not necessarily outside the city (in OSM), it
is used for central districts as well.
I've often been confused by the suburb tag and maybe someone can clear it
up for me.

The tags place=city, place=town, place=village, and place=hamlet are

Where I live, suburbs are well known, have fixed borders (though they
can be and are sometimes adjusted), and are part of your address
according to the post office and local government. They are part of a
larger residential area, which may be a city or town. Villages don't
have multiple

In the US, the problem is that address place names depend
In Australia (and New Zealand) a suburb is a named, legally defined
area that is part of your address. It is usually (always?) smaller
than a local government area (My local government, Moreton Bay Shire,
