True. What we had been looking for was a term for "polygons with holes"; it seemed unreasonable to create a relation "type=polygon" as plain polygons, without holes, don't require relations. But multipolygon is somewhat of a misnomer. > Shouldn't we be calling MultiPolygon Polygon? There are only 2788 in the database so it would not be too hard to change. I wanted to automatically add the "inner" and "outer" flags to the existing polygons anyway, although they're not strictly required they would make processing easier for some.
