Description
Hello,
by geojson spec features could have a bbox
see https://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#bounding-boxes
i need to read as fast as possible the the boundary box per feature. I export it now as propertie, but it will scale the filesize by 3 times. So maybe its possible to get it as small as the geometry by include it and calculate it with tippecanoe and put it to the bbox attribute?
Would be nice to include it to the vector-tile-spec
Thanks

Research direction
Review the GeoJSON bounding-box section linked in the issue alongside the vector-tile specification and the mention of tippecanoe. Determine whether per-feature bounding boxes or centroids belong in the specification, how they would be represented, and what the completed specification change would need to define.
