On the issue of Lease Time - refer to the specification in section
    3.20 table 89 (in wd07). The Lease Time value has always been noted
    as implicitly set in the list of operations noted for the object
    types noted. Reading the "SHALL always have a value: No" to
    mean that the items are not required to have values that are noted
    in "when implicitly set" in combination with "Applies to
      Object Types" would be an incorrect interpretation although
    the usage of MAY in the base section 3 can indeed lead to confusion
    on this topic. Bruce and I have both previously raised that
    particular issue and no one to date has proposed altering the
    specification or changing the consensus as to the meaning.

    

    This particular item was it was introduced during the KMIP 1.0
    testing three years ago and noted and updated in the KMIP 1.1 Test
    Cases document and incorporated in all the test cases (and test
    cases in profiles) subsequently - after discussions amongst the
    interop participants and the wider TC.

    

    We also covered the meaning and interpretation of the "When
    implicitly set" in a couple of recent TC calls.

    

    This same note (and context) also applies to many other attributes
    within KMIP including (as an example) Fresh.

    

    The profiles in general do not explicitly call out items already
    noted in the base profiles or the specification as mandatory except
    where it helps to demonstrate the context (i.e. to aid in
    clarity) and exactly when that context makes sense to highlight is
    up to the authors and it does indeed vary. It does however not
    change the meaning (or interpretation) of the documents.
