No, BIND is an **implementation** of DNS software.
There is much in the RFCs that is subject to interpretation, or not
necessarily well defined. Things like preferred timeouts fall into this
category.
This answer is almost as helpful as Alberto's, but as far as I know, these
timeouts are not well defined, other than in the BIND source.
Here is some of what you are looking for:
http://users.isc.org/~each/doxygen/bind9/resolver_8c-source.html#l00143
and
http://users.isc.org/~each/doxygen/bind9/resolver_8c-source.html#l00178
and
http://users.isc.org/~each/doxygen/bind9/resolver_8c-source.html#l02083
and some of the defaults:

The ARM ("https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/doc/bind-9-10/; ) has some
useful info too -- https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/doc/bind-9-10/

Great. Please point at the RFC which specifies the base timeout and EDNS0
backoff.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in
the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of
pants.
