Hey, rather than valuing Michaels proposal. Just a comment: If I remember correctly I did this change with the GeometryCollections to further process (split) a previously imported OpenStreetMap *.osm file (resulting in one Layer with everything mixed up). And I also think that I used the empty GeometryCollection trick to get some OSM objects loaded that may have no geometry (similar trick as with loading csv table?). So if Michaels changes still allow me to load and split (arbitrary) osm files, I am happy with it :)
