<Professional Comment:>
I feel that, based on experience and working with
various diverse ASN.1 generation and/or parsing programs,
the that it is not a suitable method.

<Personal Comment:>
Over my cold, stiff bleeding fingers on the keyboard!
No Way! Having suffered the slings, arrows, bricks,
and pain of ASN.1, never again! Simple text, simple
parsing, etc. etc.

<Resolution:>
If you want to us ASN.1 SYNTAX or NOTATION text format
I could see a point of departure.
