@ilikescience : >I'd love to try and motivate the requirement that tokens and groups should be able to share a name before going deep on solving it - but please excuse me if that conversation was had in an editors meeting. Good question. It certainly wasn't discussed in any depth and may well be an edge case we don't need to make special accommodations for. My (vague) recollection is that @dbanksdesign once mentioned folks trying to achieve something similar in Style Dictionary. I've just been through their old issues and found this one where someone wanted to do this (and interestingly used `DEFAULT` as the name): https://github.com/amzn/style-dictionary/issues/716 So, if this is something folks want to do, it would be nice if our format's spec had an official answer for how to do it - even it's just some kind of work-around rather than a first class feature of the format. At our last format editor's meeting I suggested opening an issue for this now as this discussion _might_ help inform the ongoing reserved words discussion (#61). My hunch was this might highlight the need for an additional group-level property and that in turn would potentially be new reserved word we'd need to accommodate somehow. -- GitHub Notification of comment by c1rrus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/97#issuecomment-1014920773 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
