I think calling the process "RMS normalizing" is fine.

I think this is a good term for it as well but I think a few days ago
the term "RMS normalizing" caused someone to believe that I was
attempting to set the RMS level to -0dBFS. (What a noise *that* would
make!) Since textbook-styled "peak normalizing" involves setting the
maximum peak level to -0dBFS. IIRC, this caused a major uproar as
everybody thought I was a *really* deaf, dumb and blind kid then.

"RMS normalising" is not sufficient is one is implying that limiting or
compression is also being applied to prevent the otherwise likely clipping.
