I have a XML document and would like to transform it to ASN.1-BER.
How would I do this with XSLT?
Does not seem like a good idea. Of course it's Turing complete. Heh
The BER is a binary format but so is PDF. Therefore it should be
possible?
Has anyone done that already?
PDF is a text format with the possibility of having various stream
filters inside it.
The following text is a valid PDF file from the PDF specification:
%PDF-1.3
1 0 obj
<< /Type /Catalog
/Outlines 2 0 R
/Pages 3 0 R
endobj
2 0 obj
<< /Type /Outlines
/Count 0
endobj
3 0 obj
<< /Type /Pages
/Kids [4 0 R]
/Count 1
endobj
4 0 obj

/Parent 3 0 R
/MediaBox [0 0 612 792]

endobj

As per my admittedly limited understanding BER is a format for
establishing Binary Encoding Rules, and not a binary format itself. In
other words I have always understood it to be text, a quick google seems
to confirm me in this belief, if you can show me elsewhere that this is
not so I would be appreciative.
