Subject: Discussion on Conformance


I believe there is a need for the ability to know if a server is
compliant to KMIP for the type of key exchange needed.  

If my client needs to interact for symmetric keys, I need to know the
server is KMIP compliant for symmetric key functions.  So, from a
conformance clause, there needs to be a way to indicate what constitutes
the minimum set of functions the server must support in order to make
the claim of "conformant".

Likewise, we need a profile for asymmetric key conformance.  So those
clients needing an asymmetric key server know if it is compliant.

There may be other subsets that make sense as a minimum conformance
profile.

The ability for a server to claim conformance for the superset is always
available.  And, the server implementation could claim conformance for
each of the minimum profiles if it had each.
