I didn’t know that courtyards have their own name ;-) In general, it seems a good idea to have a tag (apart from name=*) on the inner line of the multipolygon. But I would avoid the key place=* because this key is rather used for bigger features and seems to not fit well. Maybe there is another key *=courtyard that fits better?
