Hi Olivier,

No, we were still using the 1997 texts.  Are the new ones now available?

Regards,

Ed

with whether PER unaligned is always unaligned.  It would seem to me that
clause 7.7 is quite clear on this point that padding bits are never
inserted, but others we have dealt with claim the note in clause 16 on OCTET
STRING's indicates padding bits should be inserted because it does not
discern between aligned and unaligned forms.  It simply states that "Octet
strings of fixed length less than or equal to two octets are not octet
aligned.  All other octet strings are aligned.  etc..".
