Also from my side, thanks to open the door to vector tiles for us. Vector tiles can be useful if they contains additional informations.
I think there two practical use-cases, that I hope we can see soon: *If we have all language tags inside we can create multilingual maps. *If we would have a start- and an end-date for each object we could generate maps for OpenHistoricalMap. The generation of these maps can happen on server-side or client-side. In the past it was not possible to provide such services, because database requests took too long. To make a request on a vector tile is much faster. If you have the date, the pure rendering takes only Milliseconds. So this is only the beginning. Greetings Tim alias Kolossos P.S.: I include the style as optional layer inside the OSM-map we have in different language version (de,fr,ru,...).
