Is the whole world (suddenly?) covered with that same error.<br>
Can 600 000 persons be wrong?<br>

It looks like Geofabrik belong to "<a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:multipolygon">some
suggesting</a>", but convincingly:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Some suggest to also use type=multipolygon
(and not <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:boundary"
title="Relation:boundary">type=boundary</a>) for boundary
relations if you want applications to use area-building rules
(i.e., connecting outers to form rings, excluding enclaves, etc.)
A boundary relation is easily spotted by its boundary=* tag; no
need to use type=boundary. Although currently the most used way to
add boundaries is with a type=boundary tag but with the rules of
multipolygons.

Would someone have forgotten to try his patch? ;-)<br>
