Description Tim Taubert 2014-08-07 10:34:06 UTC 
HmacDerivedKeyParams derives from HmacImportParams but defines the |length| property again. Can't we just let it derive without defining the property a second time? Or we could let it derive from Algorithm and define |hash| again which would also be redundant.

dictionary HmacImportParams : Algorithm {
  HashAlgorithmIdentifier hash;
  [EnforceRange] unsigned long length;
};

dictionary HmacDerivedKeyParams : HmacImportParams {
  [EnforceRange] unsigned long length;
};

Seems reasonable to drop the length property from the derived dictionary.
