I understand that one might thing that just "A-label" might be enough, but after long long discussions when IDNA-2008 was developed, we came to the conclusion to use exactly that terminology that is used.

I think one of the things we (as the community) is doing better and better is to use the same terminology. Which is the basis for all difficult discussions like many of the ones in ICANN community.
