I am against overlaying one way on top of another.

The wiki suggests both tags together on a single way is acceptable;

Given the suggested alternatives, I prefer both tags together.

Can renderers cope with it?

basically you have just outer members then (one in the simplest case), 
renderers and other data consumers (geocoding etc) should not have problems, 
but it may be an extra effort to parse it (relation refers to way, way refers 
to nodes). Some mappers dismiss it for this reason. IMHO editing is much easier 
for these than it is for stacked ways, and when you want to have the way 
closely tied to the area like here, it also behaves generally as desired (when 
modifying the way, the area is automatically updated as well)
