Re: [community-group] Conditional token values (#169)

Ideally tools only hide or ignore parts of a tokens file because they recognize the content and know that it is irrelevant for their context.

hidden because known to be irrelevant vs. hidden because unknown

> If it's a more advanced format, with predefined conditions/values defined in the spec, then tool makers will need to continually add support to the specified conditions

Initially this can be a major effort because the web and other targets are mature platforms with many conditionals.

But after the initial implementation this is something that moves exceedingly slow.
It is very rare for a new dimension to display devices to be specified.

With this in mind it makes more sense to have a format that is more powerful in the long term.
