I gave this a little (not a lot) of thought during the ad review.

My interpretation was that downrefs to rfc 2104 are sufficiently
ubiquiious to not merit further discussion let alone further review.  if
that's not an universaly held opinion I suppose we should hear that.

both it and 6234 have visited the downref registry previously in 2104's
case there are something like 200 references to it from subsequent RFCs.

if the secdir would like to start a shooting war over references to HMAC
(which I doubt) I'll respect that but it's not really my wheelhouse.

thanks
