This is the relevent text:

"One or two <contact:postalInfo> elements that contain postal address
information."

and

"If an internationalized form (type="int") is provided, element content
MUST be represented in a subset of UTF-8 that can be represented in the
7-bit US-ASCII character set.  If a localized form (type="loc") is
provided, element content MAY be represented in unrestricted UTF-8."

Agreed.  "One or two".

Agreed.  "MAY be represented in unrestricted UTF-8", not "MUST".
