Well, it could be ASN.1, but the point is it's not defined by RFC2743
-- it's defined by the mechanism.

Given that the context token exchange is synchronous, there's no need
for any token IDs as such.  Or so I would think (sub-token IDs, sure,
if there's any sub-tokens that require identification).
