I don't see which RFC or Internet Draft has these in it. I'd like to
see the context where they are used.

Sounds reasonable.

The latter, definitely. It is a standards track document, whereas the
2.1 document is not.

Correct. The original vCard 2.1 spec was written by folks who were
not used to the somewhat rigorous specification requirements of the
IETF.
