<div>What I'm learning by reading this thread over again is that
there is a lot of confusion about relations in the context I'm
interested in. Group or site, whether one or the other will
render or, more importantly for me at least, is whether the
object will be findable in a Nominatim search.</div>

Why not bet both ways? <br>
Make both a site and a group relation. <br>

then not be able to locate it. I don't care which method gets
the nod on this list but in the end I want those features to
be findable.</div>

> I had not noticed the existence of the group relation
before. Seems to me that it and the controversial site
relation have some overlap. For the examples I can think of
where I think the site relation works it seems like the group
relation would also work. So, at present and lacking
counter-examples, it seems to me that one of these two
relations should go away.<br>
<br>
There is quite some difference between the suggested group
relation<br>
and a site relation:<br>
<br>
A site relation is an own feature that consists of several
other<br>
features. (For example, a wind farm cannot be mapped as a
power plant<br>
area, but it can be mapped as a power plant site relation with<br>
multiple wind turbines as members.[1])<br>
<br>

<br>
In contrast, a group relation isn't a separate feature, but
just a<br>
name; the feature is already defined for its members. (Like in
our<br>
example the two ponds 'Small Pond' and 'Big Pond' that
together are<br>
called 'Groble'.)<br>
<br>
This is also why a site (or multipolygon) relation wouldn't
work in our example.<br>
<br>
