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

[Anders Torger]

Yes we actually have some of that up here too. I've chosen generally not 
to map it though as one cannot really verify it on the satellite photos, 
and here in the vast nature in north it's not really reasonable to visit 
all these places on foot so one have to rely on satellite photos for 
large parts of the nature.

I'm quite sure that overlapping polygons is not how one is supposed to 
do it though. Soggy forests should have its own natural type, in Swedish 
we call it "sumpskog", and the best fitting OSM tag for that seems to be 
"natural=wetland; wetland=swamp".

By the way, I've pushed an update of the Rimmjoáphe wetland now, removed 
the relation and made a multipolygon to span the river.
