What is "output current" of temp sensor?

Hello,
On page 3 of the MCP9700 datasheet, it says that output current is 100uA.
What does this mean?
Does it mean that there is some leakage current from the output?
Or does it pertain to accuracy?, since 20R*100uA = 2mV
...And they dont recomend drawing any more than 100uA out of it?

Hi,

I_out is determind by the load impedance. You are responsible to keep the load current below 100uA.
