Base types etc. are defined as part of the YANG language, see the
references to RFC 7950.

This was done to fit the table into the traditional character per line
limit for the textual RFC format...

A date-no-zone value is not representing a specific 24 hour period as
the time zone offset is unknown and hence this is closer to a 48 hour
period.

I am not sure about adding a reference for the sake of having a
reference. I think RFC 4001 is not a suitable reference for IPv4
addresses (the definition of InetAddressIPv4 in there also has no
reference, so we just point somewhere else that is not more useful
than what this document has).
