A multipolygon with inners describes what is on the ground better and actually renders. It also makes it easier for somebody to later come along and map the inner in more detail (whether the cleared area is a meadow, or scrub, or whatever). My guess is that whoever came up with clearing hoped that it would render as such and, when it didn't, hoped that one day it would render as such. So if whoever mapped it ever notices what you did, they'll learn how to do it right the next time. -- Paul
