[Tagging] "dispute" about how to tag a type=multipolygon relation

[sly (sylvain letuffe)]

Hi,

A recent proposal (and change after that) on the wiki has been made, which 
roughly sums up to : "relations type=multipolygon's members should only be 
closed ways, not sums of ways making closed rings, unless the way is too big 
that it would be refused by the API"

Full discussion is here :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Relation:multipolygon#.27outer.27_and_.27inner.27_should_be_.22closed_lines.22_.28areas.29

I think that's an important change to one of the mostly used relation type 
(multipolygon) which should be a little more discussed before validation.

Your opinons are welcome.

Is it a necessary simplification to those relation ?
Is it for the sake of some badly made software ?
Does supperposing ways to avoid factorising any type of area boundaries is 
much better, and if yes, for who ?
