I can't find anything about 'token strings' in the documentation.

~Also I wonder if {name:latin} and {name:nonlatin} is MapLibre Native specific.~

Can you add a style that has this and displays something? I believe a render test can easily check for parity in this case.

@HarelM The :latin and :nonlatin is just part of that schema.

The token string syntax is obsolete. It was removed from the style specification in mapbox/mapbox-gl-js#6216, prior to the fork. Before that, mapbox/mapbox-gl-js#5600 mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#11509 made it incompatible with expressions. As a result, mapbox-gl-language v1.0.0 dropped support for it as well, making any use of token strings an internationalization problem.

If you do document this syntax, please make sure the developer comes away with the understanding that it’s even more archaic than style functions.

We have a page about deprecations, we can include that there I guess. Feel free to open a PR.
