Matt,
        Your
proposed changes do make the TTLV protocol 4 byte aligned.  I would
just observe that with one additional constraint, i.e. if you forced the
Value field to be 4 + N*8 bytes long, where N is a whole number, then it
would also be 8-byte alighted for 64-bit processing. 

Regards,
                   Glen Jaquette

This is version 2, which contains clarifying text
concerning padding of
Strings, as requested by Jon Callas.

 -- Matthew Ball

The document revision named Sun 32-bit Binary Alignment Proposal, v2 (Sun
32-bit Binary Alignment Proposal.pdf) has been submitted by Matthew Ball
to
the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) TC document
repository.  This document is revision #1 of Sun 32-bit Binary Alignment
Proposal.pdf.

Document Description:
This document is a proposal against KMIP v0.98 to change the alignment
of
the binary encoding to fall on 32-bit boundaries, optimizing the layout
for
hard-aligned processors, such as the ARM.
