Sam,

Regarding the multipolygon issue: I'm looking at Ian's projects site, 
and see that he has already fixed the bug regarding the tagging. See 
[1]. It should be fixed in version 0.7.0 of shp-to-osm, but 
unfortunately there is no build yet. I guess we need to be a bit patient 
:) I tried to compile the project myself, with the help of the wiki 
instructions, but I haven't quite figured out how Eclipse is working...
