Except provide standard APIs and a well-supported multi-lingual processing toolkit. The reasons for that are social as much as technical, but do count as a reason for not using ASN.1. > What they don't realize is that there is a reason that ASN.1 is as > "complete" as it is.

When my John Cowan honorable and gallant friend is called, jcowan@reutershealth.com he will express his opinion. This is http://www.ccil.org/~cowan the process which we call Debate. --Winston Churchill
