That's great, thanks.

The official ITU-T X.509 ASN.1 specification found at [1] (under "Formal
description(s)") does not use the problematic construct (ANY DEFINED
BY). The compilation still fails with the following error:

$ mono asn1.exe -Ada AuthenticationFramework.asn
File AuthenticationFramework.asn, line 52:24 no viable alternative at
character '&'

It seems that the TYPE-IDENTIFIER information object class (specified in
X.681, [2]) is not supported by asn1scc.

Is there a way to work around this issue or do you think compiling the
X.509 specs requires enhancements to the asn1scc tool?

Thanks again for you help.

Best regards,
Adrian
