Re: [community-group] Token aliases with invalid or unsuited intermediate value (#196)

> For this issue, do you think requiring alias tokens to NOT have a type (proposal 1.) solves the issue?

It might, but an error handling algorithm would also solve it.
I have no opinion or preference on what is best here.

What to do in this specific case is just currently unspecified.

Implicit typing of composite tokens makes sense, but requires a strict definition of all the keys that a composite token may have. In the case of typography, in CSS alone there are 57 properties that can change the way type appears. To make implicit typing work, and to not arbitrarily restrict the use case, we'd need to create and maintain a type mapping for all those properties, plus any additional properties on other platforms that aren't covered by CSS.

I am unsure what you mean, can you open a separate issue and elaborate? maybe with some examples?
