IMO one of the big advantages of the mod_tile/tirex aproach is that it is in
not bound to use mapnik as a renderer at all.  Using tirex it is currently
possible to use mapserver or any other renderer which is capable to do wms.

An ideal Vector tile solution should IMO preserve this possibility e.g. by
providing a gdal input driver for the vector format in use.
