I have no problem removing the lines PRK = HKDF-Extract(salt, IKM) and OKM = HKDF-Expand(PRK, info, L)
which are intended as logical functions rather than an actual specification. As for the parameter "Hash", this value (which describes a hash function, e.g. SHA-256) must be given since HMAC is not defined without it. Since this parameter is mandatory, maybe it should not be listed under "Options". In any case, Pasi is better qualified than me to decide on these presentational issues.
