how to fix broken multipolygons. There is some code there (line 117ff
tries to repair self-intersections and 343ff tries to fill gaps in
rings) but still OSM users come up with ever more invalid polygons ;)

Hi,

Once you have found a perfect solution, how about placing it somewhere in
front of the OSM database instead? Wouldn't it be better to prevent OSM
users from inserting invalid multipolygons than try to fix them temporary
every time they are used?
