As far as I know, the om_encode, om_decode functions are used only for transferring
an XOM ASN1 encoded object between two packages in the same application with the 
two packages written by different suppliers (they need to use the external ASN1 
representation to understand the content of the object).

The real encoding shall be performed automatically by the transfer functions
when you send your object to the remote.

On reception the reception function decodes the received object before to allow
the application to consult it.
