Vector Tiles for MapBox Streets

Given the spat at OGC with regard to Geoservices REST API, its high time that we ditch OGC and start a clean standardization body. We need futuristic standards and that can take the geospatial industry forward, not as in ESRI. I see that the team at Mapbox is ideal for that and lets hope that can take the lead

The 'spat' broke out on the OGC Mailing list, here's the May Archive: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/ There are about 100 messages about it on there.

There's also this Open Letter: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API#Open_Letter_...

And James Fee's view on the whole thing: http://spatiallyadjusted.com/2013/05/09/esri-and-an-ogc-stan...
