I think the idea is that a tag on the outer represents the way or
polygon, not the multipolygon.

Say you have an island, which consists of a beach and a lake.  You'd
put an outer way around the island, an inner way around the lake, tag
the relation with natural=beach, tag the inner with natural=water, and
tag the outer with "name=whatever island" (since the whole thing is
the island, not just the beach part).

Right?
