Where is Blake2S-based HMAC defined?  RFC 7693 merely says:

   BLAKE2 does not require
   a special "HMAC" (Hashed Message Authentication Code) construction
   for keyed message authentication as it has a built-in keying
   mechanism.

but it does not appear to clearly define the HMAC construction.
