This happens a lot in my area. Huge areas of "farmland" have been 
created as massive multipolygons, which are too big to fit in the iD 
editor, and include ways shared with other areas such as equally large 
multipolygon woods. It's a pain to split them up without damaging them 
where they include areas which should be mapped as meadow, orchard, 
scrub, etc., which I much prefer to map as separate closed field areas, 
sometimes with their own name.

Likewise several woods are mapped as a single large multipolygon wood 
where in fact they are several separate woods each with a *name*. How 
can I apply names to parts of a multipolygon?

cheers,

Martin.
