"2.2 KMIP Port Number

KMIP servers conformant to this profile MAY use TCP port number 5696, as assigned by IANA, to receive and send KMIP messages provided that both HTTP and non-HTTP encoded messages are supported."

What’s the reason for requiring both message formats if TCP port 5696 is used?

Why not allow both message formats to use the same port number without making it mandatory?

Suggested replacement text:

"2.2 KMIP Port Number

KMIP servers conformant to this profile MAY use TCP port number 5696, as assigned by IANA, to receive and send KMIP messages ~~provided that both HTTP and non-HTTP encoded messages are supported~~."
