You mean caching, once existing tiles expire, they are simply
re-rendered on demand. They can forcibly be made to re-render too, but
there is no need.

I think re-rendering all tiles that have vets in it will take some time - 
first, the new icon must be deployed to the generating servers, then they need 
to be re-rendered. If it's changed later on there might be different icons for 
vets until all affected tiles are re-rendered a second time. I don't know when 
re-rendering happens but I would guess that's not very practical? So it's 
better to decide for/discuss about one icon before it's implemented.

Bye,

I don't know what the standard practice is, but wouldn't it make sense
to simply pick an icon, and after a few weeks, ask people's reactions?
It can be changed so easily, it doesn't seem worth stressing out ahead
of time.
