Section 8.2, pg.6 says:

   [SHA2-2]     NIST, "Descriptions of SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512",
                May 2001, <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/
                fips180-3/fips180-3_final.pdf>.

It should say:

   [SHA2-2]     Federal Information Processing Standards Publication
                (FIPS PUB) 180-3, Secure Hash Standard (SHS), October
                2008, <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/
                fips180-3/fips180-3_final.pdf>.

Notes:

Rationale:
The given Ref. entry is a mix of outdated and current information.
(Corrected text obtained by borrowing from RFC 5758.)
Also, the Ref. anchor "SHA2-2" seems to be a reminiscent
of the predecessor FIPS PUB 180-2; perhaps, "[SHS]" might have
been preferable.
