Agreed.

What I mean is that if there are tags that apply to the multipolygon itself 
they should be only on the multipolygon. In your example the monument would be 
an inner way of the multipolygon and shouldn't have any tags related to the 
public square, but it would also be a monument, and the tags for the monument 
would belong on the monument's way.
