This depends on the situation. Say you are mapping a public square
with a (separately as an area mapped) monument in the middle.
Obviously you would need a multipolygon relation, because the
highway-area should not cover the monument. But the name of the square
should IMHO remain on the way, because the whole square has this name,
including the monument.
