Yes, this page is misleading, but all the links there to vCalendar specs 
etc. are actually referring to the old vCalendar format. The RFCs for 
iCalendar are refered to as iCalendar and iCalendar is explicitly not 
called vCalendar 2 or something like that:

>From RFC 2445:

   This memo is based on the earlier work of the vCalendar specification
   for the exchange of personal calendaring and scheduling information.
   In order to avoid confusion with this referenced work, this memo is
   to be known as the iCalendar specification.
