RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 20071.  Introduction   A full parser for the Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) language   [X.680][X.680-1][X.681][X.682][X.683] is difficult to implement due   to numerous ambiguities in the notation.  For example, certain   notations for a Value are syntactically indistinguishable from   notation for a ValueSet, Object, ObjectSet, DummyReference, or   SimpleTableConstraint.  An ObjectClassAssignment, ObjectAssignment,   or ObjectSetAssignment resembles respectively a TypeAssignment,   ValueAssignment, or ValueSetTypeAssignment.  A   FixedTypeValueFieldSpec or FixedTypeValueSetFieldSpec resembles   respectively an ObjectFieldSpec or ObjectSetFieldSpec, and an   ObjectClassFieldType resembles InformationFromObjects notation.  In   general, such ambiguities can only be resolved once the entire   specification has been parsed.  There are other notations that are   not mutually ambiguous but still require several lexical tokens to be   scanned before they can be distinguished from each other.  The   difficulty of parsing ASN.1 is an impediment to its wider adoption.   This document defines a semantically equivalent Extensible Markup   Language (XML) [XML10][XML11] representation for ASN.1 specifications   called Abstract Syntax Notation X (ASN.X).  An ASN.X module is a   well-formed and valid XML document conforming to XML namespaces   [XMLNS10][XMLNS11].  ASN.X completely avoids the inherent ambiguities   of the ASN.1 language; therefore, specifications written in ASN.X are   much easier to parse and manage than original ASN.1 specifications.   For example, any conformant XML processor forms the basis of an ASN.1   toolkit.   ASN.X, together with the Robust XML Encoding Rules (RXER) [RXER],   constitutes a schema language for XML documents that offers, through   other ASN.1 encoding rules, alternative compact binary encodings for   XML instance documents conforming to an ASN.X specification.  ASN.X   definitions can also incorporate type, element, and attribute   definitions from XML Schema [XSD1] documents, RELAX NG [RNG]   documents, or Document Type Definitions (DTDs) [XML10][XML11].   ASN.X is defined in terms of rules for translating from an ASN.1   specification.  This does not preclude an ASN.X module being written   directly without a pre-existing ASN.1 module; however, such an ASN.X   module is considered valid if and only if there exists, in principle,   an ASN.1 module that when translated would yield the ASN.X module.   The format for ASN.X has also been designed so that the content of an   ASN.X module conforms to the RXER encoding of an abstract value of an   ASN.1 type, the ModuleDefinition type, presented inAppendix A.  This   means that it is possible to decode an ASN.X module using an RXER   decoder and then re-encode the abstract value (for storage orLegg                          Experimental                      [Page 4]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   transmission) using any of the other encoding rules for ASN.1.  Thus,   the "X" in ASN.X can be regarded as standing for either XML or RXER,   or more generally, for any set of ASN.1 encoding rules.   The ASN.X translation of the ASN.1 module inAppendix A is presented   inAppendix B.2.  Conventions   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", and "MAY" in this document are   to be interpreted as described inBCP 14,RFC 2119 [BCP14].  The key   word "OPTIONAL" is exclusively used with its ASN.1 meaning.   Throughout this document "type" shall be taken to mean an ASN.1 type,   and "value" shall be taken to mean an ASN.1 abstract value.   A reference to an ASN.1 production [X.680] (e.g., Type, NamedType) is   a reference to the text in an ASN.1 specification corresponding to   that production.   The description of the translation of an ASN.1 module into an ASN.X   module makes use of definitions from the XML Information Set   (Infoset) [INFOSET].  In particular, information item property names   follow the Infoset convention of being shown in square brackets,   e.g., [local name].  Literal values of Infoset properties are   enclosed in double quotes; however, the double quotes are not part of   the property values.  In the sections that follow, "information item"   will be abbreviated to "item", e.g., "element information item" is   abbreviated to "element item".  Element items will be referred to by   their [local name] in angle brackets, e.g., "the <type> element item"   means the element item with the [local name] "type".  Attribute items   will be referred to by their [local name], e.g., "the type attribute   item" means the attribute item with the [local name] "type".   This document uses the namespace prefix "asnx:" to stand for the   namespace name "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx", though in practice any   valid namespace prefix is permitted in ASN.X.   Encoding instructions [X.680-1] referenced by name in this   specification are encoding instructions for RXER [RXEREI].  The   associated provisions do not apply to encoding instructions for other   encoding rules that happen to have the same name.   Code points for characters [UNICODE] are expressed using the Unicode   convention U+n, where n is four to six hexadecimal digits, e.g., the   space character is U+0020.Legg                          Experimental                      [Page 5]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 20073.  General Considerations   ASN.X is defined in terms of rules for translating an ASN.1 module   into a synthetic Infoset.  This synthetic Infoset is then serialized   into a well-formed and valid XML document (the ASN.X module) in the   same manner that the synthetic Infoset for a non-canonical RXER   encoding is serialized into an XML document (seeSection 6.12 of the   specification for RXER [RXER]).      Aside: The serialization permits CDATA sections, character      references, and parsed entity references.  However, note that an      ASN.X module may be transferred as data in a protocol and that      some protocols disallow entity references.   Apart from the [document element] of the document item for an ASN.X   module, the translation of some ASN.1 construct belongs to the   [children] or [attributes] of an enclosing element item.   Where the translation of the construct is an element item, it is   appended to the [children] of the enclosing element item.  Elements   MUST be appended to the [children] of the enclosing element item in   the order described.  Translators MAY add white space character items   (i.e., U+0020, U+0009, U+000D and U+000A) to the [children] of any   element item (to improve the layout) except element items with the   [local name] "literalValue", "fieldName", or "restrictBy".      Aside: White space in the [children] of <fieldName> and      <restrictBy> element items is explicitly covered under their      respective descriptions.   Where the translation of the construct is an attribute item, it is   added to the [attributes] of the enclosing element item.  The order   of attribute items is not significant.  Translators MAY add leading   and trailing white space characters to the [normalized value] of any   attribute item except an attribute item with the [local name]   "literalValue".      Aside: An attribute or element item with the [local name]      "literalValue" holds an RXER Infoset translation of an abstract      value, and white space characters may be significant in that      abstract value.  In most cases, RXER itself permits optional      leading and trailing white space characters in the Infoset      translation.   Translators MAY add comment and processing instruction (PI) items to   the [children] of any element item except an element item with the   [local name] "literalValue".Legg                          Experimental                      [Page 6]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007      Aside: In most cases, RXER itself permits comment and PI items in      the [children] of the element items with the [local name]      "literalValue".      Aside: Note that an ASN.X module may be transferred as data in a      protocol and that some protocols disallow processing instructions.   The [in-scope namespaces] and [namespace attributes] for   <literalValue> and <restrictBy> element items are determined   according toSection 6.10 of the specification for RXER [RXER].  The   [in-scope namespaces] and [namespace attributes] for other element   items in the translation are determined according toSection 6.2.2.1   of the specification for RXER.   The [namespace name] of any element item or attribute item generated   by the translation from an ASN.1 specification has no value unless   specified otherwise.  In those cases where the [namespace name] of an   element item has a value, the [prefix] of the element item is   determined according toSection 6.2.2.2 of the specification for   RXER.  In those cases where the [namespace name] of an attribute item   has a value, the [prefix] of the attribute item is determined   according toSection 6.2.3.1 of the specification for RXER.      Aside: Non-canonical RXER allows all valid namespace prefixes and      all valid placements for their corresponding namespace declaration      attributes.   Whenever an element item is added to the [children] of an enclosing   element item, the enclosing element item becomes the [parent] of the   element item.   Whenever an attribute item is added to the [attributes] of an element   item, the element item becomes the [owner element] of the attribute   item.  For each attribute item, the [specified] property is set to   true, the [attribute type] has no value, and the value of the   [references] property is set to unknown.3.1.  Annotations   In a number of places, as indicated in subsequent sections, the   translator is permitted to add an element item with the [local name]   "annotation".  The [children] and [attributes] of the <annotation>   element item are at the discretion of the translator.   Typical uses of the <annotation> element item would be to hold   comments from the ASN.1 specification that are normative in nature,   e.g., a comment in a user-defined constraint, or to hold directives   for an ASN.1 compiler.Legg                          Experimental                      [Page 7]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   Free text or XML comments in an <annotation> element will be   preserved in a Canonical RXER (CRXER) encoding [RXER] (because the   corresponding ASN.1 type for the <annotation> element item is the   Markup type [RXER]), while XML comments outside <annotation> elements   will not be preserved.   Vendors using the <annotation> element items to hold ASN.1 compiler   directives (as attributes or child elements of the <annotation>   element) SHOULD use element or attribute names that are qualified   with a namespace name specific to the vendor.4.  ModuleDefinition Translation   The translation of a ModuleDefinition [X.680] (an ASN.1 module) is an   element item with the [local name] "module" and the [namespace name]   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx" (i.e., an <asnx:module> element item).   The element item is typically the [document element] of a document   item.   An attribute item with the [local name] "format" and   [normalized value] "1.0" MAY be added to the [attributes] of the   <asnx:module> element item.   An ASN.1 module has a schema identity URI if it contains a   SCHEMA-IDENTITY encoding instruction, in which case the schema   identity URI is the character string specified by the AnyURIValue of   the SCHEMA-IDENTITY encoding instruction.   If the ASN.1 module being translated has a schema identity URI, then   an attribute item with the [local name] "schemaIdentity" SHALL be   added to the [attributes] of the <asnx:module> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the schema identity URI   of the module.   If the target namespace [RXEREI] for the ASN.1 module is not absent,   then an attribute item with the [local name] "targetNamespace" SHALL   be added to the [attributes] of the <asnx:module> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the target namespace of   the module.      Aside: An ASN.1 module has a target namespace if it contains a      TARGET-NAMESPACE encoding instruction.   If the ASN.1 module contains a TARGET-NAMESPACE encoding instruction   that specifies a Prefix, then an attribute item with the [local name]   "targetPrefix" SHALL be added to the [attributes] of theLegg                          Experimental                      [Page 8]

The [normalized value] of this attribute   item is the character string specified by the NCNameValue in the   Prefix.   In examples in the remainder of this document, the namespace prefix   "tns:" is used to stand for the target namespace of the module being   translated.   An attribute item with the [local name] "name" SHALL be added to the   [attributes] of the <asnx:module> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the modulereference in   the ModuleIdentifier in the ModuleDefinition.   If the DefinitiveIdentifier in the ModuleIdentifier in the   ModuleDefinition is not empty, then an attribute item with the   [local name] "identifier" SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the   <asnx:module> element item.  The [normalized value] of this attribute   item is the RXER character data translation [RXER] of the   DefinitiveIdentifier.   If the TagDefault in the ModuleDefinition is empty, then an attribute   item with the [local name] "tagDefault" and [normalized value]   "explicit" SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the <asnx:module>   element item.   If the TagDefault in the ModuleDefinition is not empty and the first   keyword in the TagDefault is not "AUTOMATIC", then an attribute item   with the [local name] "tagDefault" SHALL be added to the [attributes]   of the <asnx:module> element item.  The [normalized value] of this   attribute item is the first keyword in the TagDefault with all   letters downcased, i.e., "explicit" or "implicit".   If the TagDefault in the ModuleDefinition is not empty and the first   keyword in the TagDefault is "AUTOMATIC", then an attribute item with   the [local name] "tagDefault" and [normalized value] "automatic" MAY   be added to the [attributes] of the <asnx:module> element item.   If the ExtensionDefault in the ModuleDefinition is not empty, then an   attribute item with the [local name] "extensibilityImplied" and   [normalized value] "true" or "1" SHALL be added to the [attributes]   of the <asnx:module> element item.   If the ExtensionDefault in the ModuleDefinition is empty, then an   attribute item with the [local name] "extensibilityImplied" and   [normalized value] "false" or "0" MAY be added to the [attributes] of   the <asnx:module> element item.Legg                          Experimental                      [Page 9]

The translation of each Assignment in the AssignmentList in the   ModuleBody in the ModuleDefinition of the module being translated   SHALL be appended to the [children] of the <asnx:module> element   item.   If the EncodingControlSections instance in the ModuleDefinition   contains an EncodingControlSection for RXER, then the translation of   each NamedType in a TopLevelComponent [RXEREI] nested in the   EncodingInstructionAssignmentList SHALL be added to the [children] of   the <asnx:module> element item.  The relative order of the top-level   components [RXEREI] SHOULD be preserved in the translation; however,   the translations of the top-level components MAY be interspersed with   the translations of the assignments in the AssignmentList.

Referencing Named Constructs   An Assignment in ASN.1 associates a reference name with a Type,   Value, ValueSet, ObjectClass, Object, or ObjectSet.  For ASN.X, an   Assignment is also regarded as associating an expanded name   [XMLNS10][XMLNS11] with the Type, Value, ValueSet, ObjectClass,   Object, or ObjectSet.  ASN.X uses these expanded names, rendered as   qualified names [XMLNS10][XMLNS11], in place of the references in an   ASN.1 specification.   In every case, the local name of the expanded name is the   typereference, valuereference, objectclassreference, objectreference,   or objectsetreference in the Assignment (i.e., the [normalized value]   of the name attribute item in the translation of the Assignment,   ignoring white space characters).  If the target namespace of the   ASN.1 module in which the Assignment is defined is not absent, then   the namespace name of the expanded name is that target namespace;   otherwise, the namespace name of the expanded name has no value.   When the expanded name is rendered as a qualified name, the namespace   prefix is determined according toSection 6.7.11.1 of the   specification for RXER [RXER].   If an ASN.1 specification contains two or more modules where the   target namespace is absent, then there exists the possibility that   the expanded names defined by the ASN.X translations of those modules   are not distinct.  The expanded names are not distinct if:   (1) two or more type or value set assignments define the same       typereference, or   (2) two or more value assignments define the same valuereference, or   (3) two or more object class assignments define the same       objectclassreference, or   (4) two or more object assignments define the same objectreference,       or   (5) two or more object set assignments define the same       objectsetreference, orLegg                          Experimental                     [Page 11]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   (6) two or more top-level element components [RXEREI] have the same       local name, or   (7) two or more top-level attribute components [RXEREI] have the same       local name.   If the expanded names are not distinct, then an unambiguous   translation into ASN.X does not exist unless each of the modules has   a SCHEMA-IDENTITY encoding instruction.  Consequently, if two or more   modules where the target namespace is absent are being translated   into ASN.X and the reference names defined in those modules will not   be distinct, then as a local action prior to the translation, a   SCHEMA-IDENTITY encoding instruction MUST be added to each of the   modules that defines one or more of the indistinct expanded names and   that does not already have a SCHEMA-IDENTITY encoding instruction.   The character string (a URI) specified by the AnyURIValue of each   added SCHEMA-IDENTITY encoding instruction is freely chosen by the   translator, subject to the condition that these character strings are   distinct [RXEREI].      Aside: Although this means that different translators might      produce ASN.X modules that are syntactically different for any      given ASN.1 module, those ASN.X modules will be semantically      equivalent to each other and to the original ASN.1 module.   TARGET-NAMESPACE and SCHEMA-IDENTITY encoding instructions are   RECOMMENDED for every ASN.1 module.5.2.  Importing Namespaces   An Assignment is referenced from an ASN.X module if its associated   expanded name appears as a qualified name in the [normalized value]   of an attribute item with the [local name] "type", "value", "class",   "object", or "objectSet".  These references are categorized as direct   references.  An Assignment or top-level component is also referenced   from an ASN.X module if its expanded name appears as a qualified name   in the [normalized value] of an attribute item with the [local name]   "ref".  This reference is only categorized as direct if the ref   attribute is not the result of the translation of a DefinedType   subject to a TYPE-REF encoding instruction or a NamedType subject to   an ATTRIBUTE-REF or ELEMENT-REF encoding instruction.

An element item with the [local name] "import" SHALL be added to the   [children] of the <asnx:module> element item for each external module   containing Assignments or top-level components that are directly   referenced from the ASN.X module.  An <import> element item MAY be   added to the [children] of the <asnx:module> element item for any   other external module.   An attribute item with the [local name] "name" SHOULD be added to the   [attributes] of the <import> element item.  The [normalized value] of   this attribute item is the modulereference in the ModuleIdentifier in   the ModuleDefinition of the external module.

The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the RXER character data   translation of the DefinitiveIdentifier.   If the external module has a schema identity URI, then an attribute   item with the [local name] "schemaIdentity" SHALL be added to the   [attributes] of the <import> element item.  The [normalized value] of   this attribute item is the schema identity URI of the external   module.   If the target namespace of the external module is not absent, then an   attribute item with the [local name] "namespace" SHALL be added to   the [attributes] of the <import> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the target namespace of   the external module.

ParameterizedAssignment Translation   The translation of an ASN.1 specification into ASN.X replaces any   reference to a parameterized definition [X.683] with the definition   expanded in-line.  Consequently, there is no direct translation for a   ParameterizedAssignment, though its definition may come into play in   the translation of references to the parameterized definition (seeSection 13).6.  Translation of Types   The rules for translating the different varieties of Type are   detailed in this section.   Note that the notation of ASN.1 is ambiguous where a Type is both   prefixed [X.680-1] (e.g., tagged) and constrained.  For example, the   notation "[0] INTEGER (0..10)" could be interpreted as either a   tagged ConstrainedType or a constrained TaggedType.  For the purposes   of the translation into ASN.X, the constraint is assumed to have   higher precedence than the prefix, so the above notation would be   taken to be a tagged ConstrainedType.6.1.  Identifier Replacement   Various RXER encoding instructions can be used to override an   identifier in an ASN.1 specification with an NCName [XMLNS10].  The   NCName is given preeminence in the ASN.X representation, and the   identifier is not explicitly given if it is algorithmically related   to the NCName.  The cases where an NCName overrides an identifier are   covered individually in other parts of this specification and make   use of the following definition.   Definition (reduction): The reduction of an NCName is the string of   characters resulting from the following operations performed in order   on the NCName:Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 17]

Aside: If the reduction of an NCName is not the same as the      identifier that the NCName replaces, then the identifier will be      explicitly given in the translation into ASN.X.6.2.  DefinedType Translation   If a Type is a DefinedType in a ReferencedType, then the translation   of the Type is the translation of the DefinedType.   If a DefinedType is not a ParameterizedType,   ParameterizedValueSetType, or DummyReference and is not subject to a   TYPE-REF or REF-AS-TYPE encoding instruction, then the translation of   the DefinedType is either the attribute form translation of a type   reference, or the element form translation of a type reference.   The attribute form translation of a type reference is an attribute   item with the [local name] "type".  The [normalized value] of this   attribute item is a qualified name for the expanded name of the   referenced type definition (seeSection 5.1).  The attribute form   translation SHALL NOT be used if this expanded name is not distinct   with respect to the current module and the modules referenced by its   <import> element items (seeSection 5.1).   The element form translation of a type reference is an element item   with the [local name] "type".  An element item with the [local name]   "annotation" MAY be added to the [children] of the <type> element   item.  An attribute item with the [local name] "ref" SHALL be added   to the [attributes] of the <type> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is a qualified name for the   expanded name of the referenced type definition.

The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the schema identity URI   of the module containing the type definition referenced by the   DefinedType.      Aside: If a reference name is not distinct, then the module      containing the referenced definition must have a schema identity      URI (seeSection 5.1).   An attribute item with the [local name] "embedded" and   [normalized value] "false" or "0" MAY be added to the [attributes] of   the <type> element item.   The translation of the DefinedType is the same whether the type   definition is referenced by a typereference or an   ExternalTypeReference.

If a ContextParameter is present in the RefParameters in the TYPE-REF   encoding instruction, then an attribute item with the [local name]   "context" SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the <type> element   item.  The [normalized value] of this attribute item is the string   value of the AnyURIValue in the ContextParameter.  An attribute item   with the [local name] "embedded" and [normalized value] "true" or "1"   SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the <type> element item.      Aside: The embedded attribute item indicates whether a type is      directly referenced as a DefinedType or indirectly referenced      through a TYPE-REF encoding instruction.  An ASN.1 type can be      referenced either way.  Type definitions in other schema languages      cannot be directly referenced.

If an ellipsis ("...") is present in the Enumerations instance, then   an element item with the [local name] "extension" SHALL be appended   to the [children] of the <enumerated> element item and the   translation of the ExceptionSpec (possibly empty) SHALL be added to   the [children] of the <extension> element item.  If an   AdditionalEnumeration is present in the Enumerations instance, then   the translation of each EnumerationItem nested in the   AdditionalEnumeration SHALL be appended to the [children] of the   <extension> element item.   The translation of an EnumerationItem is an element item with the   [local name] "enumeration".   If the EnumerationItem is of the "identifier" form, then an attribute   item with the [local name] "name" SHALL be added to the [attributes]   of the <enumeration> element item.  If the EnumeratedType is subject   to a VALUES encoding instruction, then the [normalized value] of this   attribute item is the replacement name [RXEREI] for the identifier;   otherwise, it is the identifier.  If the EnumeratedType is subject to   a VALUES encoding instruction and the reduction of the replacement   name (seeSection 6.1) is not the same as the identifier, then an   attribute item with the [local name] "identifier" SHALL be added to   the [attributes] of the <enumeration> element item; otherwise, an   attribute item with the [local name] "identifier" MAY be added to the   [attributes] of the <enumeration> element item.

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   If a PrefixedType is an EncodingPrefixedType and the   EncodingReference is RXER, or the EncodingReference is empty and the   default encoding reference [X.680-1] for the module is RXER, then the   translation of the PrefixedType is the translation of the Type in the   EncodingPrefixedType.      Aside: This is not suggesting that RXER encoding instructions are      ignored.  Encoding instructions for RXER are not explicitly      represented in ASN.X, but rather affect how an ASN.1 module is      translated into an ASN.X module (since the content of an ASN.X      module is also the RXER encoding of an abstract value of the      ModuleDefinition ASN.1 type inAppendix A).  The individual      effects of RXER encoding instructions on the translation are      addressed in other parts of this specification.  Encoding      instructions for other encoding rules have explicit      representations in ASN.X.   If a PrefixedType is an EncodingPrefixedType and the   EncodingReference is not RXER, or the EncodingReference is empty and   the default encoding reference for the module is not RXER, then the   translation of the PrefixedType is an element item with the   [local name] "prefixed".  The translation of the EncodingPrefix in   the EncodingPrefixedType SHALL be added to the [children] of the   <prefixed> element item.   If the EncodingReference of an EncodingPrefix is not empty, then the   translation of the EncodingPrefix is an element item with the   encodingreference in the EncodingReference as the [local name].  The   translation of the EncodingInstruction in the EncodingPrefix SHALL be   added to the [children] of this element item.   If the EncodingReference of an EncodingPrefix is empty, then the   translation of the EncodingPrefix is an element item with the default   encoding reference for the module as the [local name].  The   translation of the EncodingInstruction in the EncodingPrefix SHALL be   added to the [children] of this element item.   The EncodingInstruction notation is different for each set of   encoding instructions, and their translations into ASN.X are   specified in separate documents [GSEREIT][XEREIT].  At the time of   writing, only three sets of encoding instructions have been defined   (for RXER [RXEREI], GSER [GSEREI], and EXTENDED-XER [X.693-1]).   If the child <type> element item of a <prefixed> element item has no   attribute items and has a child <prefixed> element item, then that   child <type> element item MAY be replaced by the [children] and   [attributes] of the inner <prefixed> element item.

Aside: The local names "element" and "component" are synonymous.      The "component" alternative is offered for specifying applications      that don't use RXER (except for the ASN.X specification itself, of      course), where referring to parts of an encoding as elements would      seem incongruous.   The member translation of a NamedType is an element item with the   [local name] "member".   The item translation of a NamedType is an element item with the   [local name] "item".      Aside: A Namedtype for which the member or item translation is      invoked will never be subject to an ATTRIBUTE, ATTRIBUTE-REF,      COMPONENT-REF, GROUP, SIMPLE-CONTENT, or TYPE-AS-VERSION encoding      instruction.  These encoding instructions are also mutually      exclusive [RXEREI].   An element item with the [local name] "annotation" MAY be added to   the [children] of the <attribute>, <element>, <component>, <group>,   <item>, <member>, or <simpleContent> element item.   If a NamedType is subject to a TYPE-AS-VERSION encoding instruction,   then an attribute item with the [local name] "typeAsVersion" and   [normalized value] "true" or "1" SHALL be added to the <element> or   <component> element item.  For the normal translation, if a NamedType   is not subject to an ATTRIBUTE, ATTRIBUTE-REF, COMPONENT-REF, GROUP,   SIMPLE-CONTENT, or TYPE-AS-VERSION encoding instruction, then an   attribute item with the [local name] "typeAsVersion" and   [normalized value] "false" or "0" MAY be added to the <element> or   <component> element item.

The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the identifier in the   NamedType.      Aside: The identifier attribute is not contingent on there being a      name attribute.  That is, an element item can have an identifier      attribute item without having a name attribute item.   If a NamedType is subject to a COMPONENT-REF encoding instruction,   then an attribute item with the [local name] "ref" SHALL be added to   the [attributes] of the <attribute>, <element>, or <component>   element item.

Translation of Literal Values   The translation of a literal value is either the attribute form   translation of a literal value, or the element form translation of a   literal value.   The attribute form translation of a literal value is an attribute   item with the [local name] "literalValue".  The [normalized value] of   this attribute item is the RXER character data translation [RXER] of   the literal value.   The attribute form translation of a literal value SHALL NOT be used   if:   (1) the RXER Infoset translation of the literal value is not a       character data translation [RXER] or is a character data       translation that contains qualified names [XMLNS10][XMLNS11], or   (2) attribute form translations of Value have been explicitly       disallowed in the context where the literal value appears, or   (3) the literal value has a nested notational value.   The element form translation of a literal value is an element item   with the [local name] "literalValue".  The [children] and   [attributes] of the <literalValue> element item are set to the RXER   Infoset translation of the literal value, except that a value of the   EXTERNAL type (or a subtype thereof) is translated according to the   associated type defined in Clause 34.5 of X.680 [X.680].  In   addition, where the [children] and [attributes] of an element item in   the translation correspond to a directly nested notational value, the   translation specified inSection 7.2 MUST be used for the [children]   and [attributes] of that element item, and an attribute item with the   [local name] "literal", [namespace name]   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx", and [normalized value] "false" or "0"   (i.e., asnx:literal="false") MUST be added to the [attributes] of   that element item.   Each outermost <literalValue> element item is required to be   self-contained [RXER].      Aside: An element item is self-contained if all namespace prefixes      used by the element item and its contents are declared within the      element item.Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 53]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007      Aside: A <literalValue> element item nested within another      <literalValue> element item is not required to be self-contained.   An attribute item with the [local name] "literal", [namespace name]   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx" and [normalized value] "true" or "1"   (i.e., asnx:literal="true") MAY be added to the [attributes] of the   <literalValue> element item and/or any nested element item with   content and attributes that correspond to a literal value.      Aside: The asnx:literal attribute operates as a switch that      indicates whether the content and other attributes of the element      containing the attribute are interpreted as ASN.X notation (a      notational value) or as an RXER encoding (a literal value).   Example      zero INTEGER ::= 0      <namedValue name="zero" type="asnx:INTEGER" literalValue="0"/>          OR      <namedValue name="zero" type="asnx:INTEGER">       <literalValue>0</literalValue>      </namedValue>   From the perspective of an ASN.X module as the RXER encoding of an   ASN.1 value (an abstract value of the ModuleDefinition type inAppendix A), the type of the <literalValue> element is the   unconstrained Markup type [RXER], not the governing type of the Value   according to the ASN.1 specification.  This means that the Infoset   representation of the <literalValue> element must be preserved in   re-encodings of the ASN.X module.   Similarly, the type of the literalValue attribute is a UTF8String,   not the governing type of the Value according to the ASN.1   specification.  This means that the exact characters of the   [normalized value] of the attribute must be preserved in re-encodings   of the ASN.X module.7.2.  Translation of Notational Values   The translation of a notational value is the translation of the   BuiltinValue, ReferencedValue, or ObjectClassFieldValue in the   notational value.   The translation of a ReferencedValue is the translation of the   DefinedValue or ValueFromObject in the ReferencedValue.Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 54]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   The translation for each of these cases is described as creating an   element item with the [local name] "value", which is appropriate for   a notational value that stands on its own.  However, a notational   value may also be directly nested within a literal value, in which   case the [local name] will be determined according to RXER and the   governing ASN.1 type of the enclosing literal value.      Aside: In the latter case, the element item will also have a      literal attribute item with the [normalized value] "false" or "0".   A notational value that is not directly nested within a literal value   MAY instead have the [local name] "literalValue" provided an   attribute item with the [local name] "literal", [namespace name]   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx", and [normalized value] "false" or "0"   is added to the [attributes] of the <literalValue> element item.

DefinedValue Translation   If a DefinedValue is a valuereference (not a DummyReference) or an   ExternalValueReference, then the translation of the DefinedValue is   either the attribute form translation of a value reference, or the   element form translation of a value reference.   The attribute form translation of a value reference is an attribute   item with the [local name] "value".  The [normalized value] of this   attribute item is a qualified name for the expanded name of the   referenced value definition (seeSection 5.1).  The attribute form   translation SHALL NOT be used if this expanded name is not distinct   with respect to the current module and the modules referenced by its   <import> element items (seeSection 5.1).   The element form translation of a value reference is an element item   with the [local name] "value".  An element item with the [local name]   "annotation" MAY be added to the [children] of the <value> element   item.  An attribute item with the [local name] "ref" SHALL be added   to the [attributes] of the <value> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is a qualified name for the   expanded name of the referenced value definition.  If this expanded   name is not distinct with respect to the current module and the   modules referenced by its <import> element items, then an attribute   item with the [local name] "context" SHALL be added to the   [attributes] of the <value> element item; otherwise, if the module   containing the referenced value definition has a schema identity URI,   then an attribute item with the [local name] "context" MAY be added   to the [attributes] of the <value> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the schema identity URI   of the module containing the value definition referenced by the   DefinedValue.      Aside: If a reference name is not distinct, then the module      containing the referenced definition must have a schema identity      URI (seeSection 5.1).   Usually the translator is free to choose either an attribute form or   element form translation for a DefinedValue; however, in some   contexts attribute forms of Value are explicitly disallowed.

If a DefinedValue is a DummyReference or ParameterizedValue, then the   translation of the DefinedValue is the translation of that   DummyReference or ParameterizedValue (seeSection 13).7.2.2.  BuiltinValue Translation   The translation of a BuiltinValue is the translation of the   ChoiceValue, SequenceValue, SetValue, SequenceOfValue, SetOfValue, or   TaggedValue in the BuiltinValue.      Aside: There are other possibilities for a BuiltinValue, but these      will all be literal values.  This section applies to a      BuiltinValue that is a notational value.   The translation of a TaggedValue is the translation of the Value in   the TaggedValue (which is necessarily a notational value).   The translation of a ChoiceValue is an element item with the   [local name] "value".  An element item with the [local name]   "annotation" MAY be added to the [children] of the <value> element   item.

An   attribute item with the [local name] "name" SHALL be added to the   [attributes] of the <attribute>, <element>, <component>, <group>, or   <member> element item.

If the SequenceOfValue or SetOfValue has a ValueList, then an element   item with the same [local name] (i.e., "element" or "component") as   the element item in the [children] of the <sequenceOf> or <setOf>   element item in the translation of the governing type SHALL be   appended to the [children] of the <value> element item for each Value   nested in the ValueList.  An attribute item with the [local name]   "name" and [normalized value] "item" SHALL be added to the   [attributes] of the <element> or <component> element item.  The   translation of the Value (from the ValueList) SHALL be added to the   [children] or [attributes] of the <element> or <component> element   item.   The translation of a NamedValue is an element item with the same   [local name] as the translation of the corresponding NamedType, i.e.,   "attribute", "element", "component", "group", "item", or   "simpleContent".  An attribute item with the [local name] "name"   SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the element item.

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   DefinedObjectClass is either the attribute form translation of an   object class reference, or the element form translation of an object   class reference.   The attribute form translation of an object class reference is an   attribute item with the [local name] "class".  The [normalized value]   of this attribute item is a qualified name for the expanded name of   the referenced object class definition (seeSection 5.1).  In the   case of a UsefulObjectClassReference, the namespace name of the   expanded name is "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:asnx", and the local name is   either "TYPE-IDENTIFIER" or "ABSTRACT-SYNTAX", as the case may be.   The attribute form translation SHALL NOT be used if the expanded name   is not distinct with respect to the current module and the modules   referenced by its <import> element items (seeSection 5.1).   Otherwise, the translator is free to choose either the attribute form   or element form translation for an object class reference.   The element form translation of an object class reference is an   element item with the [local name] "class".  An element item with the   [local name] "annotation" MAY be added to the [children] of the   <class> element item.

If the   expanded name is not distinct with respect to the current module and   the modules referenced by its <import> element items, then an   attribute item with the [local name] "context" SHALL be added to the   [attributes] of the <class> element item; otherwise, if the module   containing the referenced object class definition has a schema   identity URI, then an attribute item with the [local name] "context"   MAY be added to the [attributes] of the <class> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the schema identity URI   of the module containing the referenced object class definition.      Aside: If a reference name is not distinct, then the module      containing the referenced definition must have a schema identity      URI (seeSection 5.1).   The translation of the DefinedObjectClass is the same whether the   object class definition is referenced by an objectclassreference or   an ExternalObjectClassReference.   If a DefinedObjectClass is a DummyReference, then the translation of   the DefinedObjectClass is the translation of the DummyReference (seeSection 13).Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 67]

Translation of Objects   The translation of an Object is the translation of the DefinedObject,   ObjectDefn, ObjectFromObject, or ParameterizedObject in the Object.   The translation of a ParameterizedObject is described inSection 13.10.1.  DefinedObject Translation   If a DefinedObject is an objectreference (not a DummyReference) or an   ExternalObjectReference, then the translation of the DefinedObject is   either the attribute form translation of an object reference, or the   element form translation of an object reference.   The attribute form translation of an object reference is an attribute   item with the [local name] "object".  The [normalized value] of this   attribute item is a qualified name for the expanded name of the   referenced object definition (seeSection 5.1).  The attribute form   translation SHALL NOT be used if this expanded name is not distinct   with respect to the current module and the modules referenced by its   <import> element items (seeSection 5.1).

An attribute item with the [local name] "ref"   SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the <object> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is a qualified name for the   expanded name of the referenced object definition.  If this expanded   name is not distinct with respect to the current module and the   modules referenced by its <import> element items, then an attribute   item with the [local name] "context" SHALL be added to the   [attributes] of the <object> element item; otherwise, if the module   containing the referenced object definition has a schema identity   URI, then an attribute item with the [local name] "context" MAY be   added to the [attributes] of the <object> element item.  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the schema identity URI   of the module containing the referenced object definition.      Aside: If a reference name is not distinct, then the module      containing the referenced definition must have a schema identity      URI (seeSection 5.1).   The translation of the DefinedObject is the same whether the object   definition is referenced by an objectreference or an   ExternalObjectReference.   Usually the translator is free to choose either the attribute form or   element form translation for an object reference; however, in some   contexts the attribute form is explicitly disallowed.   If a DefinedObject is a DummyReference, then the translation of the   DefinedObject is the translation of the DummyReference (seeSection 13).10.2.  ObjectDefn Translation   An ObjectDefn that is a DefinedSyntax is first converted to the   equivalent DefaultSyntax and then translated.   The translation of an ObjectDefn is an element item with the   [local name] "object".  An element item with the [local name]   "annotation" MAY be added to the [children] of the <object> element   item.  The translation of each FieldSetting in the DefaultSyntax in   the ObjectClassDefn SHALL be appended to the [children] of the   <object> element item.   The translation of a FieldSetting is an element item with the   [local name] "field".  An attribute item with the [local name] "name"   SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the <field> element item.

DefinedObjectSet Translation   If a DefinedObjectSet is an objectsetreference (not a DummyReference)   or an ExternalObjectSetReference, then the translation of the   DefinedObjectSet is either the attribute form translation of an   object set reference, or the element form translation of an object   set reference.   The attribute form translation of an object set reference is an   attribute item with the [local name] "objectSet".  The   [normalized value] of this attribute item is a qualified name for the   expanded name of the referenced object set definition (seeSection 5.1).  The attribute form translation SHALL NOT be used if   this expanded name is not distinct with respect to the current module   and the modules referenced by its <import> element items (seeSection 5.1).   The element form translation of an object set reference is an element   item with the [local name] "objectSet".  An element item with the   [local name] "annotation" MAY be added to the [children] of the   <objectSet> element item.  An attribute item with the [local name]   "ref" SHALL be added to the [attributes] of the <objectSet> element   item.  The [normalized value] of this attribute item is a qualified   name for the expanded name of the referenced object set definition.   If this expanded name is not distinct with respect to the current   module and the modules referenced by its <import> element items, then   an attribute item with the [local name] "context" SHALL be added to   the [attributes] of the <objectSet> element item; otherwise, if the   module containing the referenced object set definition has a schema   identity URI, then an attribute item with the [local name] "context"Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 81]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   MAY be added to the [attributes] of the <objectSet> element item.   The [normalized value] of this attribute item is the schema identity   URI of the module containing the referenced object set definition.      Aside: If a reference name is not distinct, then the module      containing the referenced definition must have a schema identity      URI (seeSection 5.1).   The translation of the DefinedObjectSet is the same whether the   object definition is referenced by an objectsetreference or an   ExternalObjectSetReference.   Usually the translator is free to choose either the attribute form or   element form translation for an object set reference; however, in   some contexts the attribute form is explicitly disallowed.   If a DefinedObjectSet is a DummyReference, then the translation of   the DefinedObjectSet is the translation of the DummyReference (seeSection 13).11.2.  ObjectSetElements Translation   If an ObjectSetElements instance is an Object, then the translation   of the ObjectSetElements instance is the translation of the Object,   except that the attribute form of the DefinedObject translation SHALL   NOT be used if the Object is a DefinedObject.   If an ObjectSetElements instance is a DefinedObjectSet, then the   translation of the ObjectSetElements instance is the translation of   the DefinedObjectSet, except that the attribute form of the   DefinedObjectSet translation SHALL NOT be used.   If an ObjectSetElements instance is an ObjectSetFromObjects, then the   translation of the ObjectSetElements instance is the translation of   the ObjectSetFromObjects.   If an ObjectSetElements instance is a ParameterizedObjectSet, then   the translation of the ObjectSetElements instance is the translation   of the ParameterizedObjectSet (seeSection 13).      Aside: The in-line expansion of a ParameterizedObjectSet results      in an ObjectSet.  An ObjectSetElements instance that is an      ObjectSet is a notational capability that does not exist in ASN.1,      but is allowed in ASN.X to avoid the need to manufacture a      reference name for the expanded parameterized definition.Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 82]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 200711.2.1.  ObjectSetFromObjects Translation   The translation of an ObjectSetFromObjects instance is an element   item with the [local name] "objectSet".  An element item with the   [local name] "annotation" MAY be added to the [children] of the   <objectSet> element item.  An element item with the [local name]   "fromObjects" SHALL be appended to the [children] of the <objectSet>   element item.   The translation of the ReferencedObjects instance in the   ObjectSetFromObjects SHALL be added to the [children] or [attributes]   of the <fromObjects> element item.   The translation of the FieldName in the ObjectSetFromObjects SHALL be   added to the [children] or [attributes] of the <fromObjects> element   item.12.  Translation of Information From Objects   If a ReferencedObjects instance is a DefinedObject (not a   DummyReference), then the translation of the ReferencedObjects   instance is the translation of the DefinedObject.   If a ReferencedObjects instance is a DefinedObjectSet (not a   DummyReference), then the translation of the ReferencedObjects   instance is the translation of the DefinedObjectSet.   If a ReferencedObjects instance is a DummyReference,   ParameterizedObject, or ParameterizedObjectSet, then the translation   of the ReferencedObjects instance is the translation of that   DummyReference, ParameterizedObject, or ParameterizedObjectSet (seeSection 13).      Aside: The in-line expansion of a ParameterizedObject or      ParameterizedObjectSet results in an Object or ObjectSet,      respectively.  A ReferencedObjects instance that is an Object or      ObjectSet is a notational capability that does not exist in ASN.1,      but is allowed in ASN.X to avoid the need to manufacture a      reference name for an expanded parameterized definition.13.  Translation of Parameterized Definitions   The translation of an ASN.1 specification into ASN.X replaces any   DummyReference [X.683] or reference to a parameterized definition   [X.683] with the definition expanded in-line (except for a special   case involving recursive parameterized types).  For example, a   ParameterizedObject is replaced by the Object on the right-hand side   of the referenced ParameterizedObjectAssignment.Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 83]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   The definition that substitutes for a DummyReference or parameterized   reference (e.g., the Object that substitutes for a   ParameterizedObject) potentially comes from a different module from   the reference.  Expanding a DummyReference or parameterized reference   in-line puts the substitute definition into the context of the module   containing the reference, which could therefore alter the   interpretation of the substitute definition.   A type definition is potentially dependent on the TagDefault and   ExtensionDefault of the module in which it appears, and may also be   affected by encoding instructions in an XML Encoding Rules (XER)   [X.693] encoding control section [X.693-1].  Other kinds of   definitions are not dependent on the module context; however, type   definitions can be nested within the other kinds of definitions, so a   change of context can still be significant.      Aside: Type definitions are not dependent on their module's RXER      or Generic String Encoding Rules (GSER) [GSER] encoding control      section [RXEREI][GSEREI] (as they are currently defined), so the      presence of an encoding control section for RXER or GSER is not      significant in a change of context.   The remainder of this section describes how and when a change of   context is indicated in the ASN.X translation of a DummyReference or   parameterized reference.   In any instance of use, the module containing the DummyReference or   parameterized reference is the referencing module, and the module   providing the substitute definition is the referenced module.  The   referenced and referencing modules may be the same module.   In the case of a ParameterizedType, the substitute definition is the   Type on the right-hand side of the referenced   ParameterizedTypeAssignment.   In the case of a ParameterizedValueSetType, the substitute definition   is the constrained type on the right-hand side of the notional   ParameterizedTypeAssignment equivalent to the referenced   ParameterizedValueSetTypeAssignment (see Clause 15.8 of X.680   [X.680]).   In the case of a ParameterizedValue, the substitute definition is the   Value on the right-hand side of the referenced   ParameterizedValueAssignment.   In the case of a ParameterizedObjectClass, the substitute definition   is the ObjectClass on the right-hand side of the referenced   ParameterizedObjectClassAssignment.Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 84]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   In the case of a ParameterizedObject, the substitute definition is   the Object on the right-hand side of the referenced   ParameterizedObjectAssignment.   In the case of a ParameterizedObjectSet, the substitute definition is   the ObjectSet on the right-hand side of the referenced   ParameterizedObjectSetAssignment.   If the ActualParameter corresponding to a DummyReference is not a   ValueSet, then the substitute definition for that DummyReference is   the Type, Value, DefinedObjectClass, Object, or ObjectSet in the   ActualParameter.   If the ActualParameter corresponding to a DummyReference is a   ValueSet, then the substitute definition for that DummyReference is   the notional constrained type equivalent to the ValueSet; the   ElementSetSpecs of the ValueSet contributes to the constraint of the   constrained type, and the governor of the Parameter corresponding to   the ActualParameter is used as the parent type that is constrained.   Definition (interchangeable):  The contexts of the referencing and   referenced modules are interchangeable with respect to interpreting   the substitute definition if:   (1) the referenced module is the referencing module and does not       contain an XER encoding control section, or   (2) the referenced module and referencing module have the same       TagDefault (where an absent TagDefault is taken to be equivalent       to "EXPLICIT TAGS"), the referenced module and referencing module       have the same ExtensionDefault, and neither module has an XER       encoding control section.      Aside: A module with an XER encoding control section is not      considered to have a context interchangeable with another module,      including itself, because the typereference by which a substitute      type definition is identified may appear in a TargetList in the      XER encoding control section of the referenced module, and because      the in-line expansion of a substitute definition may cause its      text to come within the scope of a TargetList in the XER encoding      control section of the referencing module that would not apply      otherwise.   Definition (recursively contained):  A ParameterizedType is   recursively contained if its translation will be nested within the   translation (i.e., in-line expansion) of another ParameterizedType toLegg                          Experimental                     [Page 85]

A ParameterizedValueSetType is recursively   contained if its translation will be nested within the translation of   another ParameterizedValueSetType to which it is equivalent.      Aside: ASN.1 does not permit the other kinds of parameterized      reference to be recursive.   The translation of a DummyReference, a ParameterizedType that is not   recursively contained, a ParameterizedValue, a   ParameterizedValueSetType that is not recursively contained, a   ParameterizedObjectClass, a ParameterizedObject, or a   ParameterizedObjectSet is either:   (a) the translation of the substitute definition, or   (b) an element item with the [local name] "type" if the substitute       definition is a Type, "value" if the substitute definition is a       Value, "class" if the substitute definition is an ObjectClass or       DefinedObjectClass, "object" if the substitute definition is an       Object, or "objectSet" if the substitute definition is an       ObjectSet.  A fully expanded reference (described shortly) SHALL       be added to the [children] of the element item.   The translation in case (b) is always allowed and provides   information to identify the referenced module and the referenced   definition.   The translation in case (a) MAY be used instead if and only if the   contexts of the referencing and referenced modules are   interchangeable, or the contexts of the referencing and referenced   modules are not interchangeable, but the difference between them does   not affect how the substitute definition is interpreted.      Aside: There are many ways in which the substitute definition can      be unaffected by a difference between the contexts of the      referencing and referenced modules.  One example would be where      the referencing and referenced modules differ only in their      TagDefault, but the substitute definition does not contain any      TaggedType notation.   Note that if the translation in case (a) is used, then the   referencing module is still the referencing module when considering a   nested in-line expansion.  If the translation in case (b) is used,   then the referenced module becomes the referencing module when   considering a nested in-line expansion.Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 86]

Where   the automatic tagging transformation applies [X.680], this attribute   item indicates that explicit tagging applies to the type instead of   the usual implicit tagging.   If case (b) is used for the translation of a DummyReference where the   substitute definition is a Type, then an attribute item with the   [local name] "explicit" and [normalized value] "true" or "1" SHALL be   added to the [attributes] of the <type> element item generated by   case (b).   A fully expanded reference is an element item with the [local name]   "expanded".  Except in the case of a DummyReference, the reference   name is indicated by an attribute item with the [local name] "name"   added to the [attributes] of the <expanded> element item.   In the case of a ParameterizedType or ParameterizedValueSetType, the   [normalized value] of this attribute item is the typereference of the   ParameterizedType or ParameterizedValueSetType.   In the case of a ParameterizedValue, the [normalized value] of this   attribute item is the valuereference of the ParameterizedValue.

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   A <type> element item with an ancestor attribute item is a reference   to an ancestor <type> element item.  This form for a <type> element   item SHOULD NOT be used in original specifications written in ASN.X.      Aside: The form is only intended for the purpose of handling      recursive parameterized type definitions in an ASN.1 specification      being translated into ASN.X.  Such definitions are      self-referencing, but have no obvious name.  It is also not easy      to construct a suitable name from the surrounding context because      recursive parameterized types can be embedded in other constructs,      such as information objects, that are themselves unnamed.   Example      Consider these type definitions, assumed to be defined in a module      that does not have an XER encoding control section:         Tree { ValueType } ::= SEQUENCE {             value          [0] ValueType,             left-subtree   [1] Tree { ValueType } OPTIONAL,             right-subtree  [2] Tree { ValueType } OPTIONAL         }         NumberTree ::= [APPLICATION 13] Tree { INTEGER }      The assignment for "Tree" is not directly translated because it is      a ParameterizedAssignment.  The translation for the "NumberTree"      assignment, up to but not yet including the Type in the      TaggedType, is as follows:         <namedType name="NumberTree">          <type>           <tagged tagClass="application" number="13"/>          </type>         </namedType>      The Type in the TaggedType is a ParameterizedType.  Since the      ParameterizedType is not recursively contained, the translation of      the ParameterizedType (using the translation in case (a) above) is      the translation of the Type on the right-hand side of the      referenced ParameterizedTypeAssignment, namely this type:         SEQUENCE {             value          [0] ValueType,             left-subtree   [1] Tree { ValueType } OPTIONAL,             right-subtree  [2] Tree { ValueType } OPTIONAL         }Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 91]

In this case, the      actual parameter is the INTEGER type.      The translation for the SEQUENCE type, up to the first component,      is added to the <tagged> element:         <namedType name="NumberTree">          <type>           <tagged tagClass="application" number="13">            <type><!-- Tree { INTEGER } -->             <sequence>              <element name="value">               <type>                <tagged number="0">                 <type ref="asnx:INTEGER"                       explicit="true"/><!-- ValueType -->                </tagged>               </type>              </element>             </sequence>            </type>           </tagged>          </type>         </namedType>      The Type in the TaggedType for the second component is a      ParameterizedType.  Since this ParameterizedType is recursively      contained, its translation is a <type> element with the ancestor      attribute.  The value of the ancestor attribute is "2" because      there is one intermediate <type> element (for a TaggedType).  Put      another way, the translations of the equivalent instances of      ParameterizedType are two <type> steps apart.

EncodingControlSections Translation   If an EncodingControlSections instance contains at least one   EncodingControlSection with an encodingreference that is not RXER,   then the translation of the EncodingControlSections instance is an   element item with the [local name] "encodingControls".  The   translation of each EncodingControlSection with an encodingreference   that is not RXER SHALL be appended to the [children] of the   <encodingControls> element item.      Aside: This is not suggesting that RXER encoding control sections      are ignored.  Encoding control sections for RXER are not      explicitly represented in ASN.X, but rather affect how an ASN.1      module is translated into an ASN.X module.  The effect of an RXER      encoding control section on the translation is addressed in other      parts of this specification.      Encoding control sections for other encoding rules will have      explicit representations in ASN.X.Legg                          Experimental                     [Page 93]

RFC 4912               Abstract Syntax Notation X              July 2007   If the encodingreference in an EncodingControlSection is GSER, then   the translation of the EncodingControlSection is an element item with   the [local name] "GSER".  The translation of the   EncodingInstructionAssignmentList in the EncodingControlSection SHALL   be added to the [children] of the <GSER> element item.   The EncodingInstructionAssignmentList notation is different for each   set of encoding instructions.  The translation into ASN.X of an   EncodingInstructionAssignmentList for GSER is specified in a separate   document [GSEREIT].      Aside: The translation of an EncodingInstructionAssignmentList for      GSER, as it is currently defined, is always empty.   If the encodingreference in an EncodingControlSection is XER, then   the translation of the EncodingControlSection is an element item with   the [local name] "XER".  The translation of the   EncodingInstructionAssignmentList in the EncodingControlSection SHALL   be added to the [children] of the <XER> element item.  The   translation into ASN.X of an EncodingInstructionAssignmentList for   XER is specified in a separate document [XEREIT].15.  Security Considerations   The ASN.X translation of an ASN.1 specification is semantically   equivalent to the original ASN.1 specification.  The security   considerations that apply to an application built from the original   ASN.1 specification apply equally to an application built from the   ASN.X translation.   Syntax-based canonicalization for XML documents (e.g., Canonical XML   [CXML]) depends on the Infoset of an XML document being preserved.   However, the Infoset representation of an ASN.X module potentially   changes if it is decoded and re-encoded (though its ASN.1 value is   preserved), disrupting the Canonical XML representation.  To avoid   this problem, ASN.X modules MUST be normalized prior to the   application of syntax-based canonicalization.  The normalization   rules can be found inSection 6.13 of the specification for RXER   [RXER].16.
