err, that's exactly tagging for the renderers. Multipolygon doesn't
have to do with rendering: it excludes the area inside the inner way
from the area surrounded by the outer way. Nothing more. If you use it
differently to correct render problems it is an error.

thank you. This is a little bit complicated object: it used to be an
amusementpark in the GDR (Kulturpark Berlin, 1969-1990), was reopened
in 1992 as spreepark and reclosed in 2001 (probably fraudulent). Still
I don't think - despite quite a lot of trees - that this area is to be
considerated a forest. I inserted it into the multipolygon. There was
another error: layer=-1 (forest) is not to be set in cases like this.

Cheers,
