View tiles in specification

[MartinMikita]

Hi,

Is there any reason, why tiles is required as a table? It is commonly used as view over more tables, like images and map.

Even in your (MapBox) node-MBTiles utility, you are using view, not table type for the tiles: node-mbtiles schema

The metadata has correctly table or view.

Earlier the spec states

Note: the schemas outlined are meant to be followed as interfaces. SQLite views that produce compatible results MAY be used instead. For convenience, this specification refers to tables and virtual tables (views) as tables.

The metadata text and other text should be edited to align with each other.

Ah, didn't get that. Thanks, this sounds better now. But as you wrote, the text should be edited to align with each other :)
