      Remove the reference with the label DocBook 5.1 TDG - It could appear as a non-Normative Reference if needed.

      1.2 Normative References reads in part:

      [DocBook 5.1: TDG] Norman Walsh. DocBook 5.1: The Definitive Guide.

      However, DocBook 5.1: TDG isn't cited in any part of the text, other than in the citation.

      BTW, DocBook 5.1 does appear on the cover page as a reference to this work so using ":TDG" is likely to be confusing.

      It isn't clear why a non-standard text, which is subject to change and modification without notice, is being used as a normative reference.
