Tile-relative rank attribute for POIs?

[keichan34]

I've been using Tilemaker to generate tiles for awhile now, and one limitation I've been running in to is the rank attribute, specifically on POIs.

In OpenMapTiles, rank is set using the row number of the POI after sorting by rank -- in Tilemaker, rank is set statically based on OSM key/value pairs.

Given the way tilemaker works now, I think it would be pretty challenging to bolt on a tile-relative processing layer, but I wanted to see if this is something other people are interested in as well before thinking about how I want to proceed (we're actually planning on serving tiles dynamically by using a smart proxy in front of static tiles in the near future, so if there isn't interest in tilemaker itself it could be implemented in the dynamic layer).
