OK, I finally got it. So you don't use the Universal class, but the Context
Specific and in that context the tag doesn't give you the type of the field,
but other information, such as the order of the data member within the
sequence (it's the order I was referring to when I spoke about the index).

Dear Mr. Lascu:

I'm not so sure you have it. Do you understand that the tag numbers are arbitrary, but that we're putting them in order only because it's easier to do? For instance, I could have had

   Z ::= SEQUENCE {
                    a [8] IMPLICIT INTEGER OPTIONAL,
                    b [1] IMPLICIT INTEGER OPTIONAL,
                    c [42]IMPLICIT INTEGER OPTIONAL
   }

and it would be equally valid.
