Read my email about nodes/strings/polys. Basically, we follow a data model a 
little bit similar to the OGC simple features specification: we declare a 
closed string[1] for every hull the area has. An area will have an outer hull 
(the first), and any number of inner hulls.

The node/string/poly model also allows us to implement the mythic "SuperWays". 
Branched ways too.

[1] Call it "path", call it "ordered list of nodes", but my little Gallic 
(better said, Iberic) village will keep on calling them "strings".

That's what dev. is for, isn't it? ;-)
