Any leftovers that I may be able to use? ASN.1 (well, BER, anyway)
looks like a one-off solution to a large number of problems in my
unsophisticated view. It is overspecified, but that's ITU-T for
you: specifications with no (easily identified) legal loopholes.
All ASN.1 compilers I have ever heard mentioned are proprietary
tools, having a Plan 9 "open source" version would be real asset.
Not that I'm an authority on this, I seem to be working very much
in a vacuum every time I consider any ITU-T offering.

PS: To be perfectly honest, I think Inferno/Limbo would be even more
useful to develop mail processing tools and I wonder if forsyth and
friends shouldn't be closely involved. Then we have stuff that will
run on Windows, where it is much more necessary.
