... it also says that it shouldn't be used on relations, which would 
exclude perfectly valid multipolygons, such as this one:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/109230

It appears that again people are trying to use the wiki to "tell other 
people how to map" rather than "describe how things tend to be mapped".  
There actually seems to have been a minor edit war about it.  Here's the 
discussion:

http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Talk:Key:building#onRelation.3F

It's a shame, because it means when people see stuff in there that 
obviously doesn't match how people map things they'll just ignore the 
information in there that _is_ useful.

Cheers,

Andy
