ASN.1 grasped the nettle
nThe easy bit:
–Combine the Hierarchical Approach and the Pragmatic approach
nThe hard bit:
–Long character strings versus obscure binary representations
nA lot of blood was spilled in 1985.
nWent for binary!!!! (In the encoding, characters in the value notation – see later)
n OIDs are essentially binary encodings.
nEven when sent with XML they are things
like 0.2.693.57. etc – encoded in characters, but it is still binary!
