Section 3.7 says:

   This specification defines the following algorithms:

   o  SHA2-256 (mandatory to implement)

   o  SHA2-512/256 (as a backup algorithm)

   o  MD5 (for backward compatibility).

It should say:

   This specification defines the following algorithms:

   o  SHA-256 (mandatory to implement)

   o  SHA-512/256 (as a backup algorithm)

   o  MD5 (for backward compatibility).

Notes:

The SHA-2 family of algorithms are conventionally referred to using just "SHA-" and the bit strength, not "SHA2-" and the bit strength.
