Re: [community-group] Toughts on the Use of "$" Prefix in the DTCG Token Standard (#240)

I confirm what @drwpow said, **there is no connection to Sass's usage of `$`**.

@DarioSoller thank you for the great question and proposing alternatives. I do like your suggestions. I'm not saying `$description` is better than `tokenGroupDescription`, in fact I'd argue `tokenGroupDescription` is better in the sense it fully disambiguates the purpose of this key/value pair.

We instead chose to go the `$`-prefix route, and ran it past the author of JSON Schema himself, @Relequestual, who confirmed we weren't doing anything silly that would come back to haunt us later.

Sometimes, multiple appropriate avenues are open to us, and our job is to make a choice so the spec can move forward!
