I checked all references of RFC 4210.
Roughly twice as many documents use 'trusted CA' or 'trust anchor' than 'root CA'.
Two I-D could to adapt its terminology.
RFC 7030 and RFC 9483 would need a erratum to state this change for a potential future update.
RFC 8994 anyhow got the reference wrong and needs an erratum.
For details see the attached PDF References to RFC4210 root CA terminology.pdf.

I did potential changes removing the terminology "root CA" in the PR #66
I just gave it a try and my not be perfect.

John and David reviewed PR #66 but both still question the need for this change.
I prepared PR #67 containing the changes for Option 2.
