Should MultiPolygon Buildings Be Allowed?

[youngpm]

I was looking at the building data in the September release over Manhattan, and there's 5 buildings of MultiPolygon type:

┌───────────────────────────┬──────────────┐
│ st_geometrytype(geometry) │ count_star() │
│       geometry_type       │    int64     │
├───────────────────────────┼──────────────┤
│ POLYGON                   │        45754 │
│ MULTIPOLYGON              │            5 │
└───────────────────────────┴──────────────┘

These all come from OSM relations:

┌──────────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────┐
│                id                │ (sources[1]).record_id │
│             varchar              │        varchar         │
├──────────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────┤
│ 08b2a1072c775fff020073aa0caa2d81 │ r16951153@1            │
│ 08b2a1072dc94fff02002e137a88853c │ r17233745@1            │
│ 08b2a1072c0f5fff0200eb11146127ec │ r7597658@1             │
│ 08b2a10725352fff02002e76470f1a6f │ r17015722@1            │
│ 08b2a100ae743fff0200d4c4749618ad │ r9219294@3             │
└──────────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────┘

The OSM tagging wiki doesn't seem to offer guidance (or I missed it) but MultiPolygon buildings don't make much sense to me; would it make sense for Overture to be more restrictive here?

I would say even more - there is building_part, right? I thought that was the place for such cases.
