May be, since lot of TAP-3 roaming data in the booming cell industry is in
ASN.1.

The big question is can ASN.1 pick up any momentum?

Subject: Re: [EDI-L] ASN.1 and BER
Talk about serendipity. I was wondering the same thing myself! My good
friend, Mark Crawford, Vice Chair - OASIS UBL TC & Chair Naming and
Design Rules Subcommittee, tells me the that Paul Thorpe and John
Larmouth of OSS are creating ASN.1 versions of the UBL schema!
See "ASN.1 as an alternative to XML Schemas for UDDI version 2",
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/uddi-spec/200303/msg00036.html:
ASN.1 notation can be used as an alternative to XML Schema.
Recently, OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) TC decided
to use ASN.1 schemata as a secondary format for the UBL
document types (also known as transfer formats). The ASN.1
schemata for UBL open it up to the large array of ASN.1 tools,
and also allow for very efficient encoding of UBL using
ASN.1's Packed Encoding Rules, which are effectively a binary
encoding, and thus very compact. In many XML discussions,
whenever XML's verbosity comes up and a binary serialization
of XML is suggested, the wiser contingent always suggests
mappings to ASN.1 for such cases. The UBL TC heeded this
advice.
Don't get me wrong: I love XML and schema. But you gotta admit that XML
messages are extremely bloated and we still haven't gotten to the point
where we can afford unlimited bandwidth or disk storage. And we
probably never will: each time capacity improves, we would want to use
it for holding or transferring ADDITIONAL information, rather than for
shipping useless, redundant and bloated XML tags. An ASN.1 encoding,
such as PER, of UBL messages would be an order of magnitude smaller
(than XML) - yet, at the same time, the descriptive ASN.1 schema would
be almost as powerful as XSD schema.

Does anybody know why ASN.1 and BER never became popular for B2B
messaging?
