By "meannings" I mean that some relations are made to build a bigger geometry
(type=multipolygon is one), some to records facts unreleated to geometry (i.e
type=restriction )

The question is how do we improve that, while keeping free tagging system ?

By defining algorithms to work with relations in one place and mapping relation-types to that algorithms in another place.

For example:
type=multipolygon --> build-polygon
type=route        --> build-linestring
type=waterway     --> build-polygon
type=restriction  --> discard
type=windmils     --> collect

The goal should be reducing the number of algorithms and re-using them as much as possible.
