Another term for XML document

[midwesthills]

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but it will settle a
bet. Is there another name for an XML document? My friend says there
used to be another term for it, I say it was there from the start
(yes, we know we're nerds). If there was another term, what is it?
Thanks!

I don't knwo if it's what you're looking for, but SGML and XML
documents are sometimes referred to as "instances" - they are
instances of a document type.
