I'm writing a PER library (for the second time). Got a question about
character strings. If a string is supposed to be octet-aligned but has
length 0, is "nothing" supposed to be encoded at the next octet boundary?
IOW, is there supposed to be zero padding out to the next octet boundary if
not already at an octet boundary? I'm guess that we just forget the whole
octet-boundary thing if the length is 0 and not encode anything for the
string itself (of course) or even do any padding.
