Accordingly https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2104#section-3
the key for HMAC can be of any length (keys longer than B bytes are first hashed using H). However, less than L bytes is strongly discouraged as it would decrease the security strength of the function.

For SHA-256 L = 256, but spec describes signing-key with 128-bit length.

This seems pretty important to the validity of this spec

This is for me quite a big issue...
