RE: [kmip] Groups - Locate with Offset uploaded

An observation: I assume that there is no guarantee or requirement for separate Locate requests to, even with identical match criteria, return the matched objects in the same order. So then if, for example, there are say 100 objects on a server that match a Locate request, and if the client issues, say 10 sequential requests with offsets of 0, 10, 20, etc. respectively, each with a maximum object count of 10, there is no guarantee that the client will actually be returned the full set of 100 objects. In fact, worst case, although probably unlikely, but possible, the client could see the same 10 objects returned in each request.

Does anyone disagree that this is possible given the current specification? Is this an issue for anyone?
