In principle, I agree to this statement.

Can you suggest one or two good open source ASN.1 compiler toolsets that
allow an easy implementation of code generator for common SNMP toolkits,
for example? I would like to take a look at such tools.

Furthermore, Alessandro wrote in <01c701c17e83$4ee87fc0$3f00000a@SandroNB>
that it would not be a problem to adapt your proposal so that some things
become simpler, e.g. removing the IMPORT of SMING keywords. But then, I
assume standard ASN.1 parsers would probably no longer work. Maybe, I'm
wrong. Please let me know.
