I thought Deutsch, Resnick and Vittal were the original
authors of ASN.1 (see their report of September 1980, "A Specification
of a Draft Message Format Standard",  BBN Report No. 4486).  The report
specifies an encoding format which is virtually identical to the one finally
adopted as X.409, which became ASN.1.  Did Steedman write something
earlier?
