Hand the WKT directly to OpenLayers and let the client do the parsing, it will be able to handle multipolygons as well as line strings. Simplify geometries if they have too many points. Also limit the number of child objects listed to 500.
Nominatim
=========
Nominatim (from the Latin, 'by name') is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data
by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of
OSM points (reverse geocoding). An instance with up-to-date data can be found
at http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org. Nominatim is also used as one of the
sources for the Search box on the OpenStreetMap home page and powers the search
on the MapQuest Open Initiative websites.
