Do you force byte alignment within the PER message?
This will be comical when using crypto in XML, DER->base64->PER. :)
Why not use DER? Hand-coded (or probably more accurately,
IDL-compiler-generated) parser could just skip the tags, in most cases
the lengths would be single-byte, and you'd get better interop. Seems
like that's closer to the 80/20.
