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

[Anders Torger]

I'll gladly answer questions, but I think you need to rephrase. I 
suppose it is some hidden critique in there, but I honestly do not 
understand the question. It would be better for me if you put words on 
the critique instead of wrapping it in a question.

I think it's fairly obvious that if the common method to tie together 
several separate entities that has a single name is to make a single 
multipolygon-relation with several outers, there should also be a 
relation for a single named entity with multiple natural types. It can't 
be a multipolygon, so it must be something else.

Naming single entity natural features split into several sub-types is 
currently not a supported feature by OSM, although it is very hard to 
get people to actually say that (some do on this list, some don't). And 
after that it's very hard to get a statement if this missing feature is 
desirable to implement, or if OSM is not the place for this type of 
detailed geo data.

I find that you are one of those that are very mysterious about what you 
actually think ;-), but seems to strive for status quo, so I assume that 
you think that the thing I need here is already supported sufficiently 
well, but I don't know, as you haven't said.
