https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multipolygon_Examples  example 1.7
describes disjunct outers.

Too bad you have to wrestle through some very complicated examples to get
there if you start at the beginning. And, these complex examples should not
be followed, because they advocate tying landuse to ways, borders to ways
and other stuff you really should not do if you want to keep the map
unbroken.
