      Description

      1.2 Normative References reads in part:

      [DocBook 5: TDG] Norman Walsh. DocBook 5.0: The Definitive Guide. O'Reilly Media. April 2010.

      Aside from the question of citing non-normative material as normative, this reference isn't used in the draft.

      The one possible reference, under Appendix A 1:

      *****
      Published specification:

      This media type registration is for DocBook documents as described by [DocBook 5: TDG].
      *****

      In fact has a URL that points to Docbook 5.1.

      http://docs.oasis-open.org/docbook/docbook/v5.1/csprd01/docbook-v5.1-csprd01.html#bib.docbooktdg5

      That being the case, the reference with the label DocBook 5 can be dropped.
