I'm still not satisfied with type=multipolygon:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multipolygon#Detailed_tagging
specifically:
* The relation has tags:
Use the relation tagging. Ignore anything on the ways.
However, this is not what should happen for a lake group where each lake
name is independent (ie, the group is just a topological feature). And,
as I said before, unnamed lakes should not inherit the name of the group.
After re-reading the whole thread, I tend to agree with fly more, as a
boundary type seem to be much more appropriate:
type=boundary
boundary=topologic
natural=water
name=lake group name
the boundary relation has the advantage of not requiring a fake polygon
(as opposed to place=locality).
I have two examples of type=multipolygon which I introduced:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/3126464
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/3126459
whole type=multipolygon relation simply broke the rendering (but
renderers here seem to be compliant).
