the "transfer all relevant tags" should be interactive: how could the
program know which tags belong to the outer way and which to the
relation?

I don't see this as "join" area, there is already a different
multipolygon-plugin. (Unfortunately it "destroys" current shortcuts (m
for merge points), at least it did this when I installed it some time
ago).
