Hi Larry,
The straw poll is still on, and will close on Wednesday.
I personally like the 64-bit proposal as technically better and more
suitable to a wider range of processors. I know that IPv6 requires
64-bit alignment, so there is definitely precedent for this. However,
keeping the alignment to 32-bits might make it a little easier to
migrate existing implementations.
Cheers,
-Matt

Hi Matt,
I will be casting a vote for
preference to resolve the 64 bit concern, since now is easier than
later to resolve.
I wasn't sure if we were
still doing the straw poll.

Hi Rene: The examples in v4 from May 1 should be correct (see http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/kmip/download.php/32357/Sun%2032-bit%20Binary%20Alignment%20Proposal.pdf).
Everyone else: Please let me know if you have any other comments or
corrections on either the 32-bit or 64-bit alignment proposals. I've
corrected some typos and will push out new versions tomorrow with any
feedback received before then.
So far, the straw poll is showing a preference for the 32-bit proposal
(with 20% reporting).
Cheers,
-Matt

Hi Matthew:
You forgot to update the examples.
Have a nice day.

This is version 3, with updates from today's
KMIP meeting. This includes
reordering the Item Type list to place Structure first and number it as
00000001, and bump all the other numbers by one.

The document revision named Sun 32-bit Binary Alignment Proposal, v3
(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 #2 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.
