Well, they were before the embankment was created, and they might very 
well have different names. Would you say it is a single island with two 
names in that case. and then tag the area way with name_1 and name_2, even 
though the names only apply to one "weight" on each end of the "dumbell"?

I think the islands and the embankment should be defined by three 
different, but adjoining (common nodes at each end of the embankment) areas.
