<p>Just keep an eye on them, as Julien has done, and teach the new users about relations as needed. The larger multipolygon is a more accurate representation, as long as we don't have a proper area data type.</p>

I wouldn't recommend creating multipolygons with huge sizes like that btw.<br>
It's just asking for trouble... The Albertkanaal for example is one<br>
multipolygon from Antwerp to Liege, it only takes one bad edit to make it<br>
disappear, and it is quite difficult to repair such objects...<br>
