My appreciation for XML is already big, and so is my appreciation for
ASN.1, its binary encoding rules, and its XML encoding rules.

Whatever problems you may experience when you use a **bad** ASN.1 tool,
you are going to experience similar problems when you will use a **bad**
tool for any form of "binarized" XML.  A bad tool is a bad tool.  ASN.1
does binary as well as it does XML - you choose the form of encoding
that best fits your needs.  The standards are out there and good tools
are out there.
