It was designed for interchanging information in the first place rather than evolving from a document format. And you get your choice of encoding syntaxes from XML itself to tight bit-level formats that are compact on the wire and very efficient to parse (PER)... It is more accurate to compare ASN.1 to XML schema languages and XML to BER/PER/CER/DER than to compare ASN.1 to XML, by the way. > > Tom P > ABS -- Alaric B.
