That's ok.

It is better if it goes on the multipolygon, because theoretically the 
outer ring might be made up of more than one way in which case it would 
become strange to have the area tags on these ways.

If they are untagged, these holes are "null spaces". Only if you 
explicitly tag them with something are they regarded as being something.
