Re: [community-group] Design Token property called "metadata" appears only one time in the document (#155)

Thanks for the kind compliments and feedback, @lauthieb!

While @TravisSpomer is right that that section was meant to describe the _concept_ of design tokens in general - so the mention of "metadata" there was just meant to say "other kinds of meradata besides type & description might be included in a token - I do agree that it could be confusing and should be reworded.

Especially since we were once considering a `$metadata` property for groups in the spec. Even though that idea was rejected in the end, I've seen it mentioned since so we shouldn't be adding to the confusion! :-)

How about chatning it to something like this:

>Information associated with a token name
>
>For example:
>- Value 
>- Type
>- Description
>
>Other, additional metadata might also be included in a design token.

Would that clear things up?
