Ok thanks a lot ... 

I will have a look at it and while I m at it I might also try the fast
infoset specification and give it a go to see if its interesting compared to
the ASN.1

Well, sorry about that, but the asn1 codec is stiill in the sandbox, and
it's still in its pre-infancy stage. Let's say that it's still "une lueur de
désir" in its parent eyes ;)

We really want to work on it, but time is lacking. However, if you are
interested in a free ASN.1 BER codec, you can use
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/jss/. it's not a statefull
codec, and you don't have a compiler, but it's possible to encode and decode
known ASN.1 structures - a little bit like when you parse an XML file -  The
idea behind Apache ASN.1 codec was to implement a statefull codec, generated
by a compiler, which is a little bit more complicated.
