idnits reports unused references... which are actually used

[jgscudder]

Describe the issue

https://author-tools.ietf.org/api/idnits?url=https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-pcep-extension-native-ip-35.txt

produces the below-appended output. The first complaint, for iana-update, is right, but I see references in the body text for the other three.

Checking references for intended status: Experimental

== Unused Reference: 'I-D.ietf-pce-iana-update' is defined on line 1474, but no explicit reference was found in the text
