RE: [kmip] Groups - Application Specific IDs (Application SpecificIDs.pdf) modified

Scott, Renee

Here are my suggestions about your proposals, which involve changes to the same attribute.  This attribute is also the subject of some pending usage guide proposals from HP, for key naming with streaming/removable media.

Scott, you propose multiple fields, up to 8.  But as defined, the client can already create an arbitrary number of instances.  Given that, do you think multiple ID attributes are still needed?

On Renee's proposal, I have these comments.  First, I have some concerns about the 2nd paragraph "Clients can provide an instance....".  Overall, it seems like a given instance of the attribute should be owned by the client, or the server, but not both.  Mixing ownership of structure elements in a single instance seems to rely heavily on client-server integration details, and probably should be out of scope.  But I may not understand the use case.

So I would suggest the 2nd paragraph be replaced with a simplification, to the effect that, a given instance of this attribute may be set by the client, or the server.  Setting the attribute establishes ownership for that instance, for subsequent modifications or deletions.

Also, moving the examples to the Usage Guide is a great idea.  Those could be extended with the examples in Scott's proposal.  

As mentioned in the call yesterday, I expect to have a proposal soon with further Usage Guide changes for this attribute.
