minimal client conformance statement

Hello all,

Given there seemed to be a near-consensus at yesterday's call for having no client clause at all, I'd suggest that we start with this, minimal statement for clients, if we have any statement for clients compliance:

Client implementations of the KMIP protocol may implement any subset of the KMIP protocol. For example, a client may implement only the Get and Locate operations for symmetric keys. A client must be able to make at least one request that is compatible with server compliance requirements in this standard to claim client compliance .

I think starting with no client clause in v1 would save the committee time though, with no harm to adoption of KMIP,
