Re: [community-group] Defining "design token" from a "technical" perspective (#42)

Your example of styles using previously defined tokens is exactly how I have been creating tokens for my headings too. I have followed this pattern through to other components too, such as buttons and cards that share a global `border-radius` token:

```
--border-radius-sm: 12px;

--card-border-radius: var(--border-radius-sm);
... with other card specific tokens

--button-border-radius: var(--border-radius-sm);
... with other button specific tokens
```

In terms of the gradient and shadows, I have been keeping each part of the property as a single token, such as your seperated example, but then creating a complete token from those.

```
--var-1: foo;
--var-2: bar;
--var-3: biz;

--complete-var: var(--var-1) var(--var-2) var(--var-3)
```
