"The length (in bits) of the key to generate. If unspecified, the recommended length will be used, which is the size of the associated hash function's block size."
Is there a better place or way to do this?

The IDL interaction bits look good to me.  Richard, can you review the switch bit and tests?

Thanks for catching this.  There might be a few other default cases that are missing, so your review is very helpful.

This is the right place to address the problem.

This seems duplicative of the HmacKeyAlgorithm construction below.

I'm concerned about this default case.  If Mechanism() returns something unknown, we're in more serious trouble.  Could you check to see where we fail for an unknown hash algorithm?

I'm only doing this to let it parse the string into a Mechanism. HmacKeyAlgorithm wants the length given to the constructor and I can't change it afterwards. I could as well just do string comparisons like the KeyAlgorithm constructor does?

Good point.  Let's just leave it.
You're absolutely right, I missed that the spec says we should fail with a DataError when length is zero. Added two more test cases.
