Fascinating. How is it that you came to the conclusions (1) ASN.1 makes
a great deal of sense when used to hold multi-media documenst and (2)
[electronic mail] doesn't need to parsed in real-time. I can name at
least one project that was canceled because the ASN.1 requirement of ODA
is such a pain. (We were certainly never thrilled by it for ODA.)
