Research direction

Start with issue #90 and the linked elm-protobuf project to understand the requested proto3 compatibility and its implications for the vector-tile specification. Review the existing specification materials, then define whether proto3 support is in scope and what a complete specification update would require.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am wanting to use a newer protobuf compiler (https://github.com/tiziano88/elm-protobuf) which only supports proto3 syntax. Is an update to proto3 in scope at this time?
