Hole or island

Is a hole in a multipolygon representing a lake (or river section) an island or just an empty space in that water object?

What is an empty space in a water object? Can you show us an example of a multipolygon you are unsure about?

It's a dry space ;-)
Additional tags like place=island/islet are optional, not mandatory. This makes no real difference, just avoids possible confusion for later editors.
All holes you stamp into a multipolygon area are completely free space again, just like the space outside that MP.
