One terminology entry worth adding: normal vs addressable events. NIP-78 (arbitrary custom app data) shows both side by side.

Kind 30078 is addressable: an app stores its data under a d tag naming the app and context, and the content and other tags can be in any format. Kind 78 is a normal event, for when an app needs many events of the same type, grouped by a unique tag.

The same NIP says relays SHOULD require NIP-42 AUTH before serving either kind, and serve them only to the author. It's marked draft and optional.

For primary sources, the raw spec files are at github.com/nostr-protocol/nips.
