Description

If "bounds" is missing, how do I know valid tile-x/y? If the center is also missing, I don't see any possibility to even get valid tile-xy. This problem would be solved by making the "bounds" key required instead of optional.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the TileJSON specification's handling of the bounds and center keys, then check how valid tile x/y values are determined when either is absent. Done means the specification clearly defines whether bounds is required and resolves the validity question raised in the issue.
