In every language I know, words can have multiple meanings.
The context in which the words are used determines their meaning.
One possible reason could be because there is so much to describe that
coming up with unique words might be impossible or inpractical.

For records, I would use an extension field like:
IP.Payload

UDP.Payload
I would hardly call that obfuscation :)
Having the same name for different things is always obfuscation.
