Is it possible to embed Cesium3DTileStyle into tileset.json?

I would like to use something like

```auto
"asset": {
      "version": "1.0"
  },
  "root": {
      "content": {...},
      "implicitTiling": {...}
  },
  "extensions": {
     "3DTILES_style": {
         "default": { <style expression goes here> }
     }
  }
}

```

Hi @Dmitry_Kiselev ,

Thanks for your post and being a part of the Cesium community.

The design of 3D Tiles is to use declarative styling at runtime.

> While a style may be created for and reference properties of a tileset, a style is independent of a tileset, such that any style can be applied to any tileset.  
> [3d-tiles/specification/Styling/README.adoc at main · CesiumGS/3d-tiles · GitHub](https://github.com/CesiumGS/3d-tiles/blob/main/specification/Styling/README.adoc#styling-styling)

What type of data are you using and how are you turning it into 3DTiles? Some of the tiling pipelines maintained by Cesium embed/carry over some style information from the source data.

Let us know if you have further questions and how we can help.  
Thanks,  
Luke

I use just some points with labels, and convert them myself.

Generating style isn’t a problem, and I like that it’s possible to develop it separately from the actual data set.

The only thing that I would be happy to use - is to be able to reference a particular style to apply in a tileset document.

UPD: I can write and submit PR for this if that’s aligned with Cesium team view on the matter.
