Having written 2½ ASN.1 parser myself, I couldn't help but wonder if
you have "one magic ASN.1 parser to solve all of the problems" ?  :-)

Seriously, one of the problems I'm pointing out is that since one end
of the interface has a keyboard in 99.99% of the cases, the type
determination might as well be postponed so that we only have to parse
the input once, rather than two times.
