When using ASN.1 BIT STRINGs, is it a good idea for an application to
add parity bits, checksums, or other ways to check data integrity?  Does
it matter if the application is using a short stack that omits some of
the inner layers? Information about real experiences would be especially
welcome.

Thanks,
