I think you can be a little more informative: ASN.1 is intended to be highly bandwidth efficient. As opposed to trying to send lots of data (over the network) with XML which is often like a baby trying to swallow a large watermelon whole. phk was discussing an infrequently used interface therefore asn.1 is not per se desirable. Though I have to take issue with Poul's opinion that writing many text parsers is just as secure as writing one ASN.1 decoder, but then again I wasn't at the talk so maybe Poul has one magic text parser to solve all of the problems. -my two cents.
