1.8 Normative References, SHA256

Hash: SHA1

Greetings!

In 1.8 Normative References, SHA256 is cited as:

*****
[SHA256] FIPS PUB 180-4, Federal Information Processing Standards
Publication, “Secure Hash Standard (SHS),”
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips180-4/fips-180-4.pdf
*****

Is there some reason to not use:

Name of Standard: Secure Hash Standard (SHS) (FIPS PUB 180-4)

?

Which is reported on page iv of the standard.

Consider inserting, 6.2, SHA-256.

Which would direct a reader to a particular part of the standard in
question.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
