[WSBARP] Can we still use the term of "Independent Trustee" after the Uniform Directed Trust Act becomes effective?

The Uniform Directed Trust Act (RCW 11.98B) replaced the previous RCW 11.98A.030 (Statutory trust advisor), etc.
RCW 11.98B uses the term "trust director."
I see the WA Deskbook on Estate Planning and some trusts created in 2022 still use the term "Independent Trustee." I see the roles of "Independent Trustee" are equivalent to "trust director", just want to know is it an acceptable practice to use "Independent Trustee" or other similar terms in a trust agreement rather than "trust director?" or am I missing something?
Thank you!
