Description
This is a bit of a corner case, but. When rendering linear features with distinct end-point rendering styles (a symbol at the end, or a dumbell or something) there is no way in the current spec to distinguish between a line that ends at a tile boundary, and one that is carried over the tile boundary by another line in the neighboring tile.

Research direction
Review the current vector tile specification and the handling of linear features at tile boundaries. Determine how the format could distinguish a true endpoint from a feature continued in a neighboring tile, then document a proposed specification change and its completion criteria.
