What type of PR is this?

Add one of the following kinds:

  • documentation

What this PR does / why we need it:

Use the term "identifier" if an identifier is talked about.

Operators often use the term "identity" when in fact it is an "identifier".
Generally an "identity" and an "identifier" are different.
There a several definitions for "identity" e.g. in OIDF, IETF and W3C e.g. "a collection of claims".
But identity is never used when an identifier is meant.

I think we should avoid operator-speak and use "identifier" if it is an "identifier".

I'm generally happy with this, but IMEI really is "International Mobile Equipment Identity"
