In both the runtime and data stage API docs, the place as tile result data is not documented at all. I assume it would be a copy-paste from one to the other, but I have no idea since I can't tell how it works.

Well it is documented. There's just no description of how it works, which is what I think you mean and want.

Yes, a description of how they are evaluated is desireable.
