We already have problems with the update cycle differences of the
coastline and the rest of the map. Would would not gain much and simply
move the decision over to the renderer. Dual-Systems are confusing and
lead to further divergence.

As long as we do not have an area type we just need to use relations.

With boundaries we had/have similar problems.

Right now, we might have to live with nested relations and either use
type=multilinestring [1] or a newly created type=*
