Hi Matt,
 
I will be casting a vote for preference to resolve the 
64 bit concern, since now is easier than later to resolve.
I wasn't sure if we were still doing the straw 
poll.

Hi Rene: The examples in v4 from May 1 should be correct (see http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/kmip/download.php/32357/Sun%2032-bit%20Binary%20Alignment%20Proposal.pdf).

Everyone 
else: Please let me know if you have any other comments or corrections on either 
the 32-bit or 64-bit alignment proposals.  I've corrected some typos and 
will push out new versions tomorrow with any feedback received before 
then.

So far, the straw poll is showing a preference for the 32-bit 
proposal (with 20% reporting).

Cheers,
-Matt

Hi Matthew:

You forgot to update the examples.
Have a nice day.

This is version 3, with updates from today's KMIP 
  meeting.  This includes
reordering the Item Type list to place 
  Structure first and number it as
00000001, and bump all the other numbers 
  by one.

The document revision named Sun 32-bit 
  Binary Alignment Proposal, v3 (Sun
32-bit Binary Alignment Proposal.pdf) 
  has been submitted by Matthew Ball to
the OASIS Key Management 
  Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) TC document
repository.  This 
  document is revision #2 of Sun 32-bit Binary 
  Alignment
Proposal.pdf.

Document Description:
This document is a 
  proposal against KMIP v0.98 to change the alignment of
the binary encoding 
  to fall on 32-bit boundaries, optimizing the layout for
hard-aligned 
  processors, such as the ARM.

I find that somewhat surprising, given that:

* 64-bit alignment is a reasonably foreseeable requirement sometime in 
the future.

* The space penalty appears relatively small.

* It will be difficult or impossible to modify the spec for 64-bit 
alignment later.

Maybe there is less agreement than I think about one or more of these 
points.
