In pss-01, I believe that draft-jonsson-pkcs1-v2dot1-00.txt has been
released as RFC3447, so the reference "P1v2.1" probably needs updating.

Also, the SHA2 normative reference is not used -- it may need to be
moved to Informational References or removed completely.

I remember some discussion about this at one point, but are we using
X.208 and X.209 for references to ASN.1 / BER / DER instead of X.680 and
X.690?  If not, then these may need updating.
