One of the advantages of the the vector-based map would be the
multilingualism.
For instance at the moment the OSM map of the Middle East is basically
useless for me as I do not know the Arabic alphabet yet. But as far as
I understand and as I heard at the conference the vector-based map
would allow the choice of a language of the map itself.
I do not see how that can not be solved with png-based tiles. You only
have to render the tiles.
The method for detecting which tileset/language to show is the same.
BTW: it is still not as simple as rendering "in a different language".
Then you start rendering a map in English and see names like "Cologne"
or "Brussels" show up on the map.
