Yes, and if there's a wiki page that says you should do that then that wiki page needs to be changed. To map a lake in a forest area, I would create two circular ways, one natural=wood and one natural=water, and put them into an inner/outer multipoly relation and that's that. I would NOT create two ways for the lake and NOT care about the direction of my ways. It is possible that some renderers don't understand that at the moment but then I'd suggest just fixing the renderers instead of inventing other ways of tagging. There's nothing wrong with the way we tag this (and done the way I described it there's no redundancy eihter). If we have a problem then it is with the rendering and not with the tagging, and the way to fix it is work with the renderers, not write new tagging proposals (that would themselves, again, require work on the renderers!).
