Group Areas

Is there a way to group several different closed ways so that they display as one closed way on the OSM layers and in Nominatim? Example- Neighborhoods sometimes have parts of them that don't really link to each other but are still part of one large neighborhood.

OSM is very clear you shouldn't add data or tags just so something displays on a certain renderer. I think that concept would apply to Nominatim too: add and tag the things that exist.
That said, a multipolygon relation should do the trick, ie http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=9151190154 :)

This doesn't seem to do the trick for rendering in all layers after searching with Nominatim. In some cases, I am trying to map neighborhoods as residential areas that span across islands that don't touch. Is what I did in http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=9151190154 going to do the trick for this?
