Re: tags on the relation That might be possable, but its sorcery for shp-to-osm, as (i dont think it can be done with the 'rules.txt' file? As the rules simply puts tags on node-way-area. (Shp2osm could maybe)?
However, i think that i might wrong in my crazy assumptions. :) Because the tags already DO/DID get put on the relation. ... And having it on the 'outer'? .... Dang, your right. Because this is NOT a polygon, but a 'multi-polygon' where it has that extra attribute of a 'dohnut whole' Just like we dont tag the nodes of a way, nor the nodes of a polygon. & tagging a closed way, automatically becomes a polygon. -it seems that a relation is the natural progression. Although a multi-polygon cant be selected, as it would select whatever is on that 'mainland' instead, so to select the 'multi-polygon' you would need to click directly on the water. (if that makes sence) What i think would be better is to not use multi-polygons alltogether. :) Since that 'island' in the middle, could be anything. A 'reef' or 'sand' or 'islet' or 'wood' or 'grass'. Do we just leave it 'blank' if its unknown? (i think that was the verdict) If the area was split into 2 or 3 regular polygons... It would be easier to work with. (would a diagram help?)
