All, I’ve realized that there are two ways of expressing the Key Value Location in terms of the (new) KMIP tags. I don’t have a preference and was wondering if anyone can provide an argument one way or the other. When a client sends a Register request with an MDO key and wants to specify the location of the key value it can be done in the following two ways: <Request Message, Header, Batch Item, Operation, … > Tag: Template-Attribute (0x420091), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:    Tag: Key Value Location (0x4200B8), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:       Tag: Key Value Location Value (0x4200BA), Type: Text String (0x07), Data: HSM-12345       Tag: Key Value Location Type (0x4200B9), Type: Enumeration (0x05), Data: 0x00000001 <Other attributes, Object> Or <Request Message, Header, Batch Item, Operation, … > Tag: Template-Attribute (0x420091), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:    Tag: Attribute (0x420008), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:       Tag: Attribute Name (0x42000A), Type: Text String (0x07), Data: Key Value Location       Tag: Attribute Value (0x42000B), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:          Tag: Key Value Location Value (0x4200BA), Type: Text String (0x07), Data: HSM-12345          Tag: Key Value Location Type (0x4200B9), Type: Enumeration (0x05), Data: 0x00000001 <Other attributes, Object> What in your opinion is the more appropriate way to express the fact that the key location is at HSM-12345?
