> Basically ASN.1 wasn't well defined and it only works well when people agreed to only use certain features or to interpret things in a particular way when ambiguous. ASN.1 has always been as-well- or better-defined than its competition. The ITU-T specs for it are a thing of beauty not often equaled outside the ITU-T. That said, for a long time the ASN.1 specs were non-free, and that hurt a lot. Also, the BER family of encoding rules stunted development of open source tooling for ASN.1. |
