The MapML extension currently supports image-based map tiles, and is able to generate MapML documents that leverage the GeoWebCache and WMTS interface.

If the layer or layer group does not have tile caching set up for MapML TCRS gridsets, the output MapML document will be configured to generate "tile-shaped GetMap" requests that conform to the TCRS gridsets. If the user checks "Use Tiles" and sets up, via the Tile Caching layer/ layer group panel, the caching of tiles according to one or more of the standard TCRS Gridsets, then the output MapML document will be configured to issue WMTS GetTile and GetFeatureInfo requests.
