§2.5: use a different term than "fiduciary" or drop it

[hober]

"Fiduciary" has very particular legal meanings and implications which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Perhaps there's an alternative word we could use that isn't loaded in the same way? Or maybe the word can simply be dropped. We could talk about the duties of user agents without saying they're specifically fiduciary duties.

If a term is needed, perhaps something like "data stewardship"

[darobin]

I've been thinking about this, but the issue is that "fiduciary" is the term of art in much of the literature (Hartzog, Richards, Barrett, Khan…). Moving away from that cuts us from that source.

RESOLUTION: find a way of say this with simple words that don't bring in legal complex (but should still reference term of art). Not "stewardship" either.
