+1 > Why? How would you draw an administrative district with an exclave? A relation for the administrative area with two area elements to represent the territory, plus possibly a member for the capital and whatever other members mappers come up with. As we have relations for representing the relationship between elements, I believe that we should design the area data type as a polygon (with holes), not as a multipolygon. After all, it would be odd to have a relationship between multiple areas as the one special case that works without relations, while every other combination of elements uses relations.
