Hi Florian,

I'm looking for a halfway self-contained set of ITU-T recommendations
which are relevant for implementing X.509v3 certificates.  The
references in RFC 3280 appear to be incomplete; for instance, a
reference for ASN.1 itself is missing.

The ITU recently started allowing free downloads of all their standards. The ASN.1 standards have been free for download for several years. You can download them at <http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X/en>.

Or is it unreasonable to expect that the specs match what is actually
needed for interoperability with existing implementations (mostly in the
TLS, S/MIME area)?

I can't help you there. You can see my opinion on this issue towards the middle of Peter Gutmann's page at <http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/ >.

Regards,
Aram Perez
