For example Date redefines first normal form to allow nested tables, while in Codds paper it is defined as eliminating nested tables. Why don’t they just give their concept a different name then? It just creates confusion.

Can you say where he does this? I only remember him referring to first normal form as something historical, that he doesn't use that particular normal form directly at all.
