Relations are not categories. They are for recording geospatial
relationships between elements, not for putting things in groups.

Put a tag on the elements saying this is part of Group X. Wait for data
users to work out a way to grab groups of elements based on that tag (&
maybe help code that sort of functionality yourself).
