I just experimented in iD (didn't save the result, it was pure invention) and it seems to work. It certainly makes it a lot easier to edit in iD, although perhaps a little confusing if you encounter one of these without knowing why it was done that way (and some mappers, it is said, are scared of multipolygons). Is it legitimate, though? The inner is entirely within the outer, so it meets the letter of the law (but maybe not the spirit). Can renderers cope with it? I'm in two minds on this one. It makes maintenance (in iD and maybe other editors) easier. But it's confusing if you don't know why it's been done that way. And it feels clunky and bodgetastic. But while there's a rule against tagging for the renderer there isn't (as yet) a rule against tagging for the editor. I'll wait until I see what others say before I decide whether or not to use the trick. But I commend you for your ingenuity, whatever they say. -- Paul
