This is indeed a positive development. Thanks for the info. Would a result of this effort would be that XML would be a standard way to transform between developer-readable XML and BER|DER|PER data? Would XML Schema would be an alternate language to define ASN.1 types? Or both? What is the scope for data types? Many of the interesting data types, such as certificates, are defined by X.500 series of standards. There are of course many other standards that build on ASN.1, so I am curious about the approach taken to provide extensible support for datatypes. Will an XML Schema document be written that corresponds to the ASN.1 notation in each of the various ITU standards? If nothing else, it would be a good test for building modular, layered XML Schemas. I checked out the URLs you included and found references to the current activities you mention. I'll check back for updates at http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/en/standards/index.htm. take it easy, Charles Reitzel At 04:46 PM 2/18/01 +0000, Olivier Dubuisson wrote: >In my first email, I missed to say that the idea here >is to use the ASN.1 module as an XML schema, i.e., a way >to validate tag names and data between these tags. > >"Thomas B.
