For example this datasheet has 5 different package drawings that it calls "Small Outline Package", all with different dimensions:


Isn't the idea of a package "name" supposed be a single identity including dimensions (differing, of course, in length, to accommodate different pin counts)?

Yes it can get very confusing. The "Jedec" designations are given at the bottom of each drawing. AFAIA that designation should identify a package uniquely.
