You might be interessted in the following article: Rita Brennan, Kevin Thompson, Rick Wilder: Mapping the X Window onto OSI Standards, IEEE Network Magazine, May 1991. It describes the work of ANSI commitee X3H3.6 and ISO JTC/SC21&SC24 on this. The X Protocol is above ACSE and presentation in this proposal. It is not ASN.1/BER encoded. They use the normal X bitstream as the presentation syntax. Nothing prevents you from using other presentation syntaxes then ASN.1/BER in OSI. That's why there is a presentation syntax negogiation in the presentation layer.
