as an academic researcher, i was amused recently to be giving a course on ISO standards to a group of developers from the computing and telecommunications industry, and having to come up with excuses for the concrete baroqueness of ASN.1 and obfuscation that is the Session Layer Protocol. is there a FAQ or better still a Frequently Given Excuse for these? jon
