It's quite likely I got it wrong, sorry if that's the case.

Valery, perhaps you could help?

Ok.

You didn't address the most important question: do you agree with modifying
the RFC-to-be so that the SHOULD applies to 128-bit signatures, and
clarifying the information model that the "Blake2s" algorithm implies
128-bit signatures?
