Yeah well, it's just a different fixed template so it's
not "doing" ASN.1 at all really, or only about as much
as PKCS#1 requires, which is almost nothing. And SPKI
formatted export of public keys is supported directly
in lots of crypto libraries, incl. WebCrypto so it's
probably even less lines of code if the key was already
imported/generated. And it is the same as some other
protocols use, providing interop, which is also the
whole point of this and other WGs I'd guess (...dude:-)
