I prefer designation=* since it it already a widely used tag that fits the intended purpose of the proposed admin_title=* tag. The question on whether the value should be human-readable or machine-readable can be solved by using correspondence tables to link the two. Barring such a table, I don't see a catastrophic problem in automatically converting "civil_parish" to "Civil Parish" and vice versa, to use the example in the talk page.
