Re: [community-group] Legacy color (#137)

> Adding support for an alpha sub-value for the color token type, in my opinion, has neither a negative or positive impact on the human readability/maintainability of the spec. It is solely about providing a mechanism for composing a color token with either a tokenized or arbitrary alpha value. This is a pattern that designers and design systems use with regularity - and, removing the tokenization aspect, a pattern that all major design tools have long supported.

I meant that at its core a structured data format enables more use cases.
Having a separate `alpha` field works for your case, having units separate from values works for others. But the shared principle is that avoiding microsyntax and encodings has specific benefits.
