Well, yeah, use relations. But also: I recently helped run a 4 session course on using TileMill to render OSM data, and it gave me a whole new perspective on how the average punter consumes OSM data. Services like TileMill will probably mean a lot more people consuming OSM tags directly, and they'll probably look first to name=* on the way. (Consuming relations is much fiddlier...)
