[Tagging] How to put a name tag on an area with more than one type?

[Anders Torger]

A common established method to name natural features with separated 
parts is as a multipolygon with several outers. There is one object that 
ties them all together.

In this case a multipolygon is not possible, since the member types 
differ and "outers" share segments. I think to actually have them all 
tied together in a unit is still a good idea, it is one entity, not 
multiple entities named the same. If this ever gets supported by a 
renderer the logical way would be to have the name only on the relation 
and no name on the separate parts.
