> ASN.1 is turing complete.

ASN.1 is a horror show, and the actual implementations of it that are available are even worse-- I've still yet to find an open source implementation of BER that strictly matches the spec, correctly accepting and interpreting all values that should be accepted and rejecting all values that should not... but I believe that you're joking about "turing complete".

... But ASN.1 is so bad that I'm not completely sure. Can you confirm or cite?
