However, I disagree that you must wear a waistcoat. It is also acceptable to wear a PC with an evening belt, I think.
You are correct on both points.

I've never heard this one, but the bottom button undone on a regular 5 button waistcoat has always been the fashion kilt or not.

Charles Thompson has a picture of this in his book, and mentions it as correct for a day wear jacket and 5 button waistcoat. I'm not a fan of the look either.
