W3C DTCG Spec - Unofficial Token Types

Tokens Studio has several independent Token Types that are not officially recognized in the W3C DTCG Specifications:

• Spacing

• Sizing

• Border Width

• Border Radius

The spec defines a Dimension Token as the preferred type for these properties.

If we want to fully align with the spec, Tokens Studio is required to phase out these ‘unofficial’ Token Types. However, we believe the choice should be yours!

We have a custom transformation that changes these Token Types to dimension included in the SD-Transforms npm package and we’ve introduced a dimension as its own Token Type.

Feedback that is helpful

• How does having these properties as independent Token Types influence your workflow?

• What would the impact be if these Token Types would be deprecated, assuming migration was taken care of by Tokens Studio?
