Description
I am creating this issue for open discussion and a note for future releases. Currently the `ClosePath` command does not move the cursor. This was not described in v1 and most existing vector tiles are currently encoded in such a way that `ClosePath` does not move the cursor. From a logical standpoint, it might make sense to have `ClosePath` move the cursor to the initial point of that linear ring.

Research direction
Review the ClosePath behavior described in the v1 specification and compare it with how existing vector tiles encode ClosePath. The issue is framed as an open discussion, so a clear resolution about whether the cursor should move is needed before implementation or specification work can be considered done.
