Describe the defect

The variant AES[-(128|192|256)]-Wrap[-(PAD|KWP|PKCS7)] is unclear. KW (AES Key Wrap) and KWP (AES Key Wrap with Padding) are two modes for KTS-Wrap. The choice PAD is unclear. Also, PKCS7 is a padding scheme. What does the literal Wrap represent here?

Additional context

The issue is data-quality / naming defect in the Cryptography Registry and can be fixed without changing schema behavior or introducing new algorithms.
