Re: [community-group] [RFC] Format specification (#1)

Hey @kevinmpowell thanks for the feedback. 

I reread the section about groups and saw that it is state that:
> Groups are arbitrary and tools SHOULD NOT use them to infer the type or purpose of design tokens.

I want to export tokens from figma, so that I can build a amazon style dictionary transformation to turn them into css, xml and xcassets. To me this feels like "inferring" the purpose (e.g. combining the tokens into a text style). 

Considering this it would probably be more useful to create "user-defined composite tokens" and update them when the specs are finalised / composite token types are defined. Does that make sense?
