Brackets are not URI delimiters, and in fact neither is a comma, so you are right - that url parser isn't right, the comma should also be inside of it.
Here's the proper section in the RFC.
The RFC says the delimiters are based on the current schema, but for all practical reasons, I think we can agree that whitespace characters are generally the only valid delimiters.

As to those characters being practically used - Wikipedia is one example that uses them extensively (e.g. to state the category of the viewed term, when that term fits multiple categories).
