By "meannings" I mean that some relations are made to build a bigger geometry (type=multipolygon is one), some to records facts unreleated to geometry (i.e
type=restriction )

The question is how do we improve that, while keeping free tagging system ?

By defining algorithms to work with relations in one place and mapping relation-types to that algorithms in another place.

For example:
type=multipolygon --> build-polygon
type=route        --> build-linestring
type=waterway     --> build-polygon
type=restriction  --> discard
... or type=restriction --> generate-node (to display a propriate icon, a node right to (or left in GB) the "from" way with attributes restriction=no-left-turn, orientation=25° could be used by the renderer later to display a turn restriction icon on the map. As I would propose to define the use of algorithms to be configured in any way, that would be optional anyways.
type=windmils     --> collect

The goal should be reducing the number of algorithms and re-using them as much as possible.
I agree, as long as "as much as possible" refers to the re-use only. Additional (and useful!) algorithms don't harm if they are not used.

Peter
