Indra, All,
For clarity, instead of overloading the Key Value Type field, what about introducing a distinct "Key Compression Type" field with its own enumeration, both in the Get request and Key Block object? Also, we should consider renaming "Key Value Type" to "Key Format Type", to be more precise. 
 
[IF] I assume you are suggesting for us to avoid allowing multiple Key Value Types to be specified. I would be ok with that. I am also ok with changing the name to Key Format Type or Key Material Format.
 
Moreover, if we allow clients to specify under which format they wish to obtain a key (raw, transparent, etc), then should the spec state the following too ?

- if a client registers a key in a given format/compression, the server must be able to provide it (as a response to Get requests) in at least that same format/compression (that would forbid, for instance, server implementations that take as input a transparent key and only store the flattened raw byte format).   
  
- any conversion from the original provided format/compression (that came through a Register operation from the client, or from a out-of-band admin operation) to any other format/compression is optional for the server to support.  
 
 [IF] Yes, we could include this. Note however that it is up to the vendor how the object will be stored.  

Regards,
-Robert
