Description

What is the new page you are requesting?

Continuation of #563

Add more detail about recommendations for using more semantic slugs This page should be written from a high level since slug names are used across all presets in theme.json.

How will this new page help you?

Begin to provide information about best practices for naming conventions used in theme.json across presets to encourage consistent standards across block themes.
