romainmenke has just created a new issue for https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group:

== Remove units from type definitions ==
https://design-tokens.github.io/community-group/format/#duration

This assumes that all consumers agree on the unit for a given value type or forces implementers to do error prone parsing before passing on transformed values.

A better sub type might be a general `Dimension` type

```json
{
  "Duration-100": {
    "$value": {
        "number": "100",
        "unit": "ms"
    },
    "$type": "duration"
  }
}
```

This reduces the amount of micro syntaxes in the spec and makes it easier to implement.
