Hmm, people are discussing possible security problems due to the
use of XML. What about ASN.1? It seems that writing a parser for
it is not trivial; just look at some OpenSSL security advisories:

    o Security: fix vulnerabilities in ASN.1 parsing
      CAN-2003-0543, CAN-2003-0544                            [0.9.7c & 0.9.6k]
    o Security: fix additional vulnerability in ASN.1 parsing
      CAN-2003-0545                                                    [0.9.7c]
