I didn't speak of a polygon (closed ways) but of a relation (a set of ways).
A speed limit on the roads doesn't prevent you driving as fast as you 
want in the meadows ;-)
Look at multilinestring, which I see as a swiss-knife way assembly.

In my mind, such a relation is the way to assign the same tags to a 
collection of objects making a whole with regard to those tags.  If we 
add recursion (nesting), which is very easy to do, that's powerful.

Cheers,

André.
