I think I partially disagree. The references to RFC5234, TR36, and TR55
are years-old dated immutable documents.  These are not helpful to the
reader and should be removed.

The reference to Unicode is to the latest version, a moving target
guaranteed to change, and I think the statement, that we think this is safe
because the referenced definitions are not expected to change, is correct
and arguably adds value.

The reference to XML is *not* to a moving-target latest version, for the
reason noted in the reference - note that the W3C’s practice of producing
“editions” of a supposedly stable “version” is controversial.   Once again,
I think this adds value to anyone who really cares about the XML subset
this document specifies.
