This gave me the idea for a quick survey of current ASN.1 use. 

The aim is to come up with a list of projects  (i.e. standards, private 
implementation projects etc.) that use ASN.1, but do not belong to the "classic" 
OSI upper layer standards. Things to be included in this list are e.g. SNMP, 
RSA PEM (what is this ?), Kerberos, and I remember someone at Thinking Machines was
working on a WAIS implementation that uses ASN.1 (this would be a 'private project'). 

This would give valuable feedback to ASN.1 compiler writers as to what
applications their compilers should aim at. Also, it would give an indication
to how "successfull" ASN.1 has been up to now outside its originally intended OSI
scope (quite successful, apparently, if it even made it to RFC's :-)).

The following questionaire might help you to describe the project. You may add further
points, of course. You can describe stuff you just heard/read about, or projects you did
yourself.

Name of project:

Short description of the project:

Documents describing the project:

For what specific purpose is ASN.1 used:

Any ASN.1 macros used:

Difficulties experienced when using ASN.1:

Which ASN.1 compiler was used:
