        Is ASN.1 parsable with a META parser, or is it too tricky?

        I agree that LISA or some similar tool would be very useful
here.  My main interest in PROLOG is that I find it (or rather,
unification) is a really nice database.  With careful rules you can
extract data in sophisticated ways I find more pleasant than
SQL+postprocessing.

        It's uncanny!  Except for a few technology choices (I favor
Hunchentoot over CL-HTTP), we want to do a lot of the same things.
