Re: [community-group] Are token descriptions optional or required? (#62)

@duboisp [Section 4](https://design-tokens.github.io/community-group/format/#file-format) of the draft explain why the community group is choosing JSON as the standard file format"

Do you think that JSON-LD has a broad support with current tools and librairies? And I'm not expecting designers to know JSON, yet again JSON-LD, but the learning curve is much lower for the non-developer audience.
