Re: [community-group] Native modes and theming support (#210)

Reading this thread has been enlightening. I didn't fully appreciate the scope of use cases for design tokens and the huge variety in those use cases scale.

I'm currently in the process of setting up a pipeline to ingest, transform and consume tokens for my company. In the first day of researching/testing tools I saw three different tools use three different ways to represent "modes/themes" (at least two of those approaches have been discussed here). @jjcm's comment sums up my feelings well:

> At the end of the day I care less about the exact structure/format of how we represent theming. Our requirements are just to have a solution for this, not to have a specific solution. What I don't want to end up having is there being 8 different ways people approach this,

I know this is a long (and probably exhausting) discussion, but I want to encourage the invested parties to continue pushing towards a consensus. All approaches have drawbacks, but with the amount of thought put in here it seems likely that whatever comes out will be better than if the spec becomes less relevant because its not meeting the needs of the industry and everybody tries to solve it on their own.
