Description
Before Layers tile could have general tile metadata tags, such as:
* x, y, zoom - tile coordinates could be standard, maybe even mandatory. Enables decoding tile data without knowing the context (URL, full file path) of it.
* User-defined tags - whatever encoder wishes to add there: source, update date, copyright, link to docs etc

Research direction
Start by reviewing the vector tile specification and the existing layer-level metadata rules. Define whether tile coordinates and user-defined tags belong in the format, including their required semantics and encoding, then document the agreed behavior in the specification and confirm that the proposal is internally consistent.
