Perhaps something could be done similar to boundary with so many admin_levels and some sort of default mapping from the existing 4 places to their new numeric equivalent (a bit like footway and some combination of tags including highway=path are equivalent as far as I can tell). This would allow areas around the world to use intermediate levels should they wish to, if their societal structure makes such use appropriate. I'd probably add suburb somewhere between town and village, and allow perhaps 2 spare levels between each of those 5 categories, and perhaps a couple either side as well, though can't imagine what gets smaller than hamlet - "isolated house" perhaps?
