This commen is amazingly late in the process. Please note that the word "file" 
was used in every draft and, in fact, in RFC 7958.

Are you looking at the current versions of the documents? I do not find "trust 
anchor document" used in the AUTH48 version. Further, I do not find the use of 
the word "document" not following "XML" where it means the trust anchor 
document.

If Jakob and Guillaume agree, we can carefully excise "file" and replace it 
with "XML document". I can do that work, instead of just listing places where 
the RFC Editor needs to guess what our intention is.
