Re: [ekmi] Request ID or entire request in sksml response

[Arshad Noor <arshad.noor@strongauth.com>]

That is correct, Anil; they are all valid.  And, the reason is:
a <SymkeyRequest> could have requested multiple symmetric keys
from the SKS server - some new and perhaps, some existing.

As a result, the response can contain all the elements you show
in your examples; some could be valid <Symkey> elements with new
or existing keys; some could be <SymkeyWorkInProgress> (even if
the request was made synchronously, we have to allow for the
possibility that the SKS server cannot return a <Symkey>, but at
the same time, it did not run into any errors to return a
<SymkeyError>) and finally, some could result in <SymeyError>s.

Since we can't predict how many key-requests might be within
a single <SymkeyRequest>, we have to accommodate for all types
of elements in the <SymkeyResponse>.

Does that clear up the confusion?
