The problem with that is that a multipolygon relation is for a single entity that may be broken down into several pieces.
A group of islands (or an archipelago) is not a single island broken down into several land pieces. It is just that: a group of islands. So we need a different way of tagging a "collection" separate from tagging unconnected parts of a whole.
