Because the main purpose of using a word here is to give implementations
an idea of how far they have to go in order to satisfy the requirements.
If we use a term that has an established meaning (where we intend
that established meaning), it makes it easier for folks to reuse or
enhance tools that already do that thing.

Yes, I think it is pretty clear now that continued use of de-identified
is not appropriate.  It came from the HIPPA side of the universe, where
it exists for very good reasons, but those reasons do not apply to DNT
because our requirements are not about public disclosure of health research.
