`$metadata` can go on tokens—I'd say probably 95% of its use case would be on tokens.
To me, all of those things you mentioned make a *lot* more sense as structured key/value pairs instead of simple string tags, but also I'm an obsessive organizer so I'm biased. 🙂 I can see how an unstructured list of strings could be more useful to some people. Worst-case, if the format didn't support it, you could just use a `tags` node inside of `$metadata`:
```diff
{
"color": {
"brand": {
"primary": {
"400": {
"value": "#7cf88b",
"type": "color",
+ "$metadata": { "tags": ["brand", "global", "…"] }
}
}
}
}
}
```
