I would like to see draft-hmac proceed, pretty much as is.

I find draft-hartman more complex to follow with its elements of
procedure.

draft-hmac is a delta to the existing USM which is what it it intending
to be; you need to understand USM in order to implement it, in which
case, all you need is in draft-hmac.

draft-hartman contains additional information that seems extraneous and
likely to confuse.
