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

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