Re: Educational purpose

One comment - I don't think "Education" should be a constraint in this way
described in this thread. Rather, the license should restrict usage to a
"education" role in the party element. In this way, should the user be an
education user, then they would be able to provide some form of credential
that confirms they satisfy the requirement.

A physical world example would be student discounts - which are granted on
the presentation of a student card.

I think this would extend to any similar form of restrictions - e.g.
religious use would be a confirmation of a user that has a religious role.
I admit, this then places the onus on the identity provider - but that also
has a real world assistance, as this approach means that the user is
verified and authenticated correctly (so the student can't use education
use if they are no longer a student).
