To be clear, are you saying that RFC 5869 HKDF is not compatible with 
800-56Cr2?

(I had assumed they were compatible, but just used different notation for the 
same idea.)

Looking just now, I see 800-56C refers to 800-108, whose Section 5.2, KDF in 
Feedback Mode looks really close to HKDF in RFC 5869.  I see the same overall 
design, but some different orderings of inputs, which could cause non-interop. 
Is that the case?
