Yes. Please don't include "this point is within such-and-such a polygon" data onto the point itself, it's redundant information and not helpful. When a county border is changed by legislation, then moving the border of the county should be sufficient for a mapper. Having to check and update 10,000 address nodes would be error-prone. Adding county/state/country data to address points will lead to a similar problem as we have with the original TIGER node tags - it'll takes ages to remove them further down the line!
