Re: [community-group] Token types - optional or required (#63)

Reviewed by the spec editors on 2021-10-19. 

**Decision** 
Token Types are _not_ required to be manually set, but all tokens have a default JSON type. To gain the most interoperability and features from using the token spec, setting a type on each token is recommended. Vendor tools will not be required to parse tokens to infer types, so vendor tool functionality may be limited if types are not provided.

**Decision** 
The spec should support a type property at the file & group level so a type property does not need to be manually added to every token. Follow #72 for additional details.

**Action to be taken**
Next version of specification will reflect these decisions.
