Yes, I well understand that while today it is almost unthinkable to
produce a (RF) specification that does not have an open source
implementation it might not have always been thus. However, what
intrigues me most is not the absence of open source implementations, but
rather the absence of open source projects around ASN.1 that implement
at least a sizeable chunk of the ASN.1 body of specifications and/or
have a sufficiently active community working towards that goal. I would
like to know if the ASN.1 community has insights into this situation.
