Parsing numbers and units from a string is trivial and performant in every programming language. I personally quite like the readability of having one string represent amount + unit, and it doesn’t impact tooling. So I think this hurts readability without adding any benefit (I don’t think this is easier to implement). Further, for duration, there’s only one unit (considering `ms` and `s` are just divisions of the same unit), so expanding it just seems to be verbose. > A better sub type might be a general `Dimension` type In a design system, time and space are distinct concepts. Numbers can quantify both, but since they have no direct relationship I don’t think there’s a point in tokenizing the number (e.g. `50ms` and `50px` have no relationship). -- GitHub Notification of comment by drwpow Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/121#issuecomment-1085158981 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
