On the linked mapbox-presentation is a good explanation, all tiles that
are equal have only one representation on the server. Mapbox seems to
have found a way to stop the renderer if it's not necessary to go deeper
in the zoomlevels. For a simple graphic like that of WIWOSM it should be
possible to reduce the space to 1%. After the first mbtiles we will know
more....
I understand that we will have >100.000 mbtiles-files on the server but
this should be no problem to handle. We don't need a daily update for
IE-user.
An empty 2-color png has a size of only 116 Bytes so network-traffic
should be also no problem.
Rendering-on-demand sounds a good idea or we render on free resources
off external computers.
MBtiles sounds also interessting for Wikipedia-maps-workshop
(German:"Wikipedia:Kartenwerkstatt") so it would be generally nice to
handle it.

But you are still looking at a ton of tilesets here!
How are you
planning to approach that? On-demand rendering? Or do you seriously
want to pre-render for all possible categories or list articles?!

Hello,
has somebody here experiences with mbtiles?
I want to render WIWOSM for to things:
*boring IE support
*to support Wikipedia categories and collection articles in the kind of
Template:GeoGroup/Vorlage:All Coordinates [1] A technical solution seems me
better before the people begin to tag this in OSM. A vector solution for an
article like "List of rivers of Germany" will kill each browser.
If I understand it correct in the actual mapbox-presentation[2] it's
possible to save render time and server space by using redundancy.
