Section 2.5.2 describes the format of the filename for an attached XML report
just above that paragraph. I don't know anyone who mechanically extracts them
and blindly uses the name as an actual local filename. It's really a long
complicated token but it's called a filename in the RFC 7489 and I think it
would be needlessly confusing to change it now.
