One of the advantages of the the vector-based map would be the 
multilingualism.

For instance at the moment the OSM map of the Middle East is basically 
useless for me as I do not know the Arabic alphabet yet. But as far as I 
understand and as I heard at the conference the vector-based map would 
allow the choice of a language of the map itself.

There are so many disputes about languages, so an ability to just select 
whatever language one wants makes it not just a new feature but speaking 
figuratively an advent of a new brave world.
