What do we gain by having to explicitly include the unit, if the goal is to be platform/tool agnostic?
> I'm actually more concerned about whether or not we ought to add more relative units (E.g. %, vw, vh, ch...) in the future, so as not to limit what design intents people can express in the format.
Please also consider variable units https://drafts.csswg.org/css-variables-2/#variable-units. Maybe my org wants to use a custom `flibble` unit in the future.
As it stands, requiring "px" or "rem" prevents me from being able to use maths like
`"value": "{dimension.xs} * {dimension.scale}"`
Preventing me from doing that might be the feature, not a bug, but without understanding why I need to be explicit with a value, it's frustrating.
