Clarify .mvt as Mapbox Vector Tile #57

Closed mapsam closed 8 years ago

mapsam commented 8 years ago

Per discussion with @springmeyer, it seems important to be explicit about what .mvt stands for or, rather, what we'd like it to stand for from now on. There has been some confusion in regards to the recent blog post calling them Mapbox Vector Tiles. Since .mvt is not a new concept, it can be conflated with Mapnik Vector Tiles.

Proposal: officially call these Mapbox Vector Tiles. by adding to 2.1 file extension ... something like " ... .mvt (Mapbox Vector Tile) ... "

Would love some guidance on PR workflow @flippmoke!

@mapsam I am not sure we need to update the specification as it is the name of the specification? https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec#mapbox-vector-tile-specification
