Thanks, Barbara.

I didn't see anything wrong.  (Nit: "an implementation attempting to
comply", I suggest "that purports to comply".  It sounds, like, really smart.)

I agree, pending further input.

Here's my current proposal (pending further input):

  This value is of a length suitable for the associated
  babel-mac-key-algorithm.  If algorithm is based on the HMAC
  construction, this value MUST be between 0 and the block size of the
  underlying hash inclusive (64 in the case of HMAC-SHA-256); if it is
  smaller, it is zero-extended before use as specified in Section 2 of RFC
  2104.  If the algorithm is Blake2s, then it MUST be between 0 and 32
  inclusive, and is used as described in Section 3.3 of RFC 7693.
