One of the interesting things about ASN.1 is that it was originally
developed for humans to communicate with each other about the data
structures they were developing - that is, not for automated processing.  I
understand that this origin has lead to quirks in ASN.1 that make it really
hard to parse in its full glory.

Cheers,
