The consistent word for this in 1035 is simply "message". "DNS
Message" is in more common use today, I would say.
The text you quoted from 1035 is most usefully interpreted as a
contraction of "messages sent over UDP"; "UDP message" really
doesn't have a well-understood meaning, and is easily conflated with
"UDP datagram" which does not have a size limitation of 512 bytes.
Thanks for explaining this. Please note that I personally agree with
what you wrote.
My understanding is that the text in Section 3.4 is trying to say DNS
messages over UDP. There was some discussion about that (see
