Brian filed a discuss on this - I agree with it:

I note that the Abstract says:

Abstract

   The United States of America has adopted a suite of secure hash
   algorithms (SHAs), including four beyond SHA-1, as part of a Federal
   Information Processing Standard (FIPS), specifically SHA-224 [RFC
   3874], SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.  The purpose of this document
   is to make open source code performing these hash functions
   conveniently available to the Internet community.  ....

I think this should be updated accordingly as well.
