Tagging seas as multipolygon has good benefits some renders but the name
of the sea in any viewed part of this sea. So you are not compelledto
fetch the sea to know his name. This is an easy process for the renderer
it looks up for a sea relation where the coastline is member of it and
put the name from the relation on the right side of coastline.
But when there are difficults of large sea I suggest new key for
coastline will named "sea_label" this key must refer to the node id of
the sea so the renderer will get main of benefits of sea relation. With
less maintain and less DWG headache.
Someone may say it may be difficult to beginner users to get sea node id
but editors can put all nearby sea in a drop down menu to easy selecting
as they translate most key values to user language.
