I've reviewed rfc9829.txt and have a few small nits. Please see below.

I think one instance was missed:

OLD:
        The hash in the manifest's FileList provides a cryptographic
        guarantee on the Certification Authority's intent that this is
        the most recent CRL and removes possible replay vectors.
NEW:
        The hash in the manifest's fileList provides a cryptographic
        guarantee on the Certification Authority's intent that this is
        the most recent CRL and removes possible replay vectors.

Personally I think "Manifest" would be clearer for the reader, because
lower-case manifest can also be a verb. But, I also understand a
desire for some consistency with 6487/9286.

If 9286 wouldn't exist, what would've been the recommended approach from
your professional editing perspective?

There also is another RFC publication coming down the pipeline
(draft-ietf-sidrops-manifest-numbers), this provides an opportunity to
establish a new 'norm' (should we opt to go for Manifest in this
document).

I reviewed the document and did not spot anything that seems to warrant
changes in relationship to the "Inclusive Language" portion of the
online Style Guide. I agree and appreciate that carefully considering
words often results in more precise language.

Kind regards,
