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

[Frederik Ramm]

Sylvain,

    I have not followed the discussion but there is no doubt in my mind 
that:

* a multipolygon may have 0 or more inner rings;
* a multipolygon must have one or more outer rings;
* any inner ring can consist of any number of ways;
* any outer ring can consist of any number of ways.

There is absolutely no limitation that restricts the number of ways used 
to make an inner or outer ring in any case. Even a small forest polygon 
could have a multi-way outer ring *and* a multi-way inner ring.

It is of course true that a mapper will normally use as little ways as 
possible - it doesn't generally make sense to split a 50-node inner ring 
into multiple parts. If you do it, it is unnecessary, but not invalid.

Bye
Frederik
