I think the intent of the code is to get away from seeing directories that list several breakers as "lights" or "outlets" or "plugs".
Homeowners and lay people don't know the lingo either and especially when things are spelled wrong like:
"lites", D/W, D/P, W/H, "smokes", "kit", "bath", "wash", "dry", ect.
Good examples would be:
"Master bathroom receptacles", "Guest Bedroom lighting and outlets", "dishwaher and disposer", Clothes Washer, Closthes Dryer, ect.
