You might find some useful code in the Pears project at OCLC's Office of
Research: http://www.oclc.org/research/software/pears. Pears (a database
that uses BER internally) has record handlers that convert XML records to
ASN.1/BER, using a configuration file to map XML tag names to BER tag
numbers. It's Java and open source, so could be integrated with XSLT fairly
easily.

I would be inclined to write a custom serializer for this.
Many processors give you access to the result tree in the
form of a SAX event stream, which you can capture in a
user-written SAX2 ContentHandler.
This allows your XSLT stylesheet to concentrate on generating
the ASN.1 representation as a tree, and the serializer to
contain all the knowledge about the BER encoding of ASN.1
An alternative is that there is, I believe, an XML encoding
of ASN.1, and therefore presumably a converter from that to BER.

Subject: [xsl] Can XSLT produce binary output: ASN.1-BER
I have a XML document and would like to transform it to ASN.1-BER.
How would I do this with XSLT?
The BER is a binary format but so is PDF. Therefore it should
be possible? Has anyone done that already?
