Description
The missing zoom level in the tiles is the biggest design flaw in the 2.x specification as without it you can not handle the MVT(PBF) files like ordinary images. When the _tile_zoom_ is left optional in the specification, image plugins (like [QtPBFImagePlugin](https://github.com/tumic0/QtPBFImagePlugin)) can not be updated to (reliable) enable working with MVT(PBF) files like ordinary images at least for v.3 tiles.
