Document: Abstract Syntax Notation X (ASN.X)
Reviewer: Joel Halpern
Review Date: January 26, 2007
IETF LC End Date:
IESG Telechat date: (if known)
Intended Status: Proposed Standard
Summary: I presume this document is ready for publication as a
proposed standard.
Comments:
I presume someone (in addition to the author) who is very
familiar with ASN.1 has gone over this.
While an interesting piece of work, it is not clear why this
is being published as a Proposed Standard RFC by the IETF. It seems
to be much more a W3C kind of document.
I presume the extensive provision for encoding instructions,
which would not appear in a native ASN.1 document, is consistent with
the anticipated use of this document, whatever that may be. I will
say that the need to repeatedly specify the effect of the encoding
instructions makes reading this somewhat difficult document (at least
difficult for one who is not current on ASN.1) even harder.
