Well noone would assume that he has to enter Vienna as a state instead 
of a city. Vienna is both a state and a city, just like Hamburg or Berlin.
admin_level=8 is used to specify one of the 23 districts of Vienna 
(Wiener Bezirke).

It needs to be possible to use either the city or the bezirk as city 
(even though usually for everyone the postcode is enough and noone 
searches after the Bezirk). That's the way it is implemented in most 
maps (and all garmin maps).
