the problem arises when the university is a sum of diverse and distinct
features possibly overlapping with other features. Those are not required
to be areas and if you mix nodes/ways/areas you must use something different..
Does the area of the university include the roads and paths there? Country
specific. How do you exclude them from an area of the university if they
don't belong to the university?
My feeling is that multipolygons have enough problems if applied to
true areas.
