Re: [community-group] Promote ISO standards in units representation (#159)

@rdlopes: The format editors have reviewed this issue and decided to close it. We thank you for your suggestion, but as per my earlier comment, we think keeping just the `ms` format for durations is more appropriate given our format's intended audience.

To answer your 2 questions...

Yes. (UI) animations are the primary use-case we expect duration design tokens to be used for. While people _might_ find other uses for duration design tokens, we're not going to optimize for that.

> * be used by the CSS/styling community?

If by "styling community" you mean people who create digital user interfaces, then yes. :-)

However, bear in mind that, design tokens are tool- and platform-agnostic, so CSS code is just one possible output from a design token. Code for Android, iOS and other platforms could also be generated. Also, designers may (one day) be able to import and use design tokens within their tools too.
