Great answer! (trimmed, but I'll save it and someday try it. My geo todo<br>
list is growing more often than it shrinks.)<br>

It would be nice to have this in the docs and pointed to by the opening<br>
page. Even better, to take maptiler out of the architecture picture,<br>
and replace it with just "openmaptiles server", and then say in the text<br>
that maptiler is one implementation that can be used. It comes across<br>
as architecturally needing that service.<br>
