Re: [docs-and-reports] Privacy and Purpose Constraints (#15)

Having read through the various responses above and looked at definitions of "purpose limitation" online, I'm still inclined to agree with @npdoty that this is an unconventional use of a term that has a domain-specific meaning and as such could be confusing. 

His description: 
> ... "purpose limitation" is a term for a well-known concept in privacy law that refers to ... a party documenting in advance what purpose it will use data for, promising only to use it for that purpose, and collecting data that can be used for multiple things but only using it for that limited purpose.

In other words, it refers to data reuse that _is possible, but should not happen_, while in our context the intent is to identify that _data reuse is not possible and cannot happen_ due to technical limitations.

(Is this bike shedding?)
