I think that is no different, say, than any of the XML Schema languages.
People concerned with the "verbose" XML serialization should look at DER
or PER for lessons to be learned and avoided.

Outside of its use as a legacy migration tool, what does it offer to XML
developers that existing schema languages do not have?

That seems silly. XSD->ASN1->XML serialization. Or did I misunderstand?
XSD->ASN1->DER might be interesting.

Really? So VXER is just an "undo" for the XSD->ASN1 translation?

They they're not the same XML document.
I guess I'm confused.
