Section 2 says:

test_case =     3
key =           0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
key_len         16
data =          0xdd repeated 50 times
data_len =      50
digest =        0x56be34521d144c88dbb8c733f0e8b3f6

test_case =     4
key =           0x0102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f10111213141516171819
key_len         25
data =          0xcd repeated 50 times
data_len =      50
digest =        0x697eaf0aca3a3aea3a75164746ffaa79

It should say:

test_case =     3
key =           0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
key_len =       16
data =          0xdd repeated 50 times
data_len =      50
digest =        0x56be34521d144c88dbb8c733f0e8b3f6

test_case =     4
key =           0x0102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f10111213141516171819
key_len =       25
data =          0xcd repeated 50 times
data_len =      50
digest =        0x697eaf0aca3a3aea3a75164746ffaa79

Notes:

Notice the equal signs missing after "key_len"

spt: I changed the classification to editorial and made it hold for document update because I don't believe implementers will be confused by the missing "=".
