[OSM-talk] area_with_holes as alternative to multipolygon relation

Until now I was unaware that we currently require the outer/inner ways
of polygons to be clockwise/anticlockwise. It seems that some
renderers work better if that is the case but nowhere is it a
requirement. 

I fail to see the problem that your proposal solves.

Who said this was necessary today?
