Andreas,

I believe there are in particular interested in being able to make use of the 
multiple geometry support available in the Interlis format ( the Interlis spec 
itself is a bit complicated to follow. The most obvious evidence I found about 
multiple geometry in Interlis is 
http://www.eisenhutinformatik.ch/interlis/ili2fme/interlis2-20120202.pdf 
paragraph 12.2 )

Funnily enough, this topic was raised in this old thread :
