Re: [w3c/manifest] Why is purpose a "unordered set of unique space-separated tokens"? (#903)

That should be removed too, just sayin'.

Because then it can be flagged as deprecated and future versions could remove it. People tend to use W3C specs as templates for their own ideas, and this idea shouldn't be propagated. It's better to express what you mean than try to be clever with a string, especially when the tools are available (this is a JSON-compatible context so arrays exist)
