If I made a search for
Via Archimede, Bresso, Italia

In the response I get ( place_id="37659795" osm_type="way" osm_id="27393925")

as well as Bresso
I also get
Niguarda

Now the suburb Niguarda (place_id=10578283 osm_node=957188590), is a suburb of the city Milano, not of the city Bresso.

Now it is clear from the documentation of suburb the a suburb is: "[...] a major sub-division of a place=town or place=city"

So I should assume that a suburb should not extend outside the city.

In this case the suburb is just a point and there is no a relation with is boundary, so it is not clear where the suburb ends, but surely it should not extend beyond the boundary of the city.

Looking from a different prospective (this may be easier to understand and implement), a suburb should be attached to an element only if the corresponding city or town is attached.
