I suspect that many applications which need to look at certificates in
detail would benefit more from an official ASN.1 decoder.  Defining yet
another data model for X.509 certificates (after ASN.1 and the current
Java API) seems a bit superfluous, IMHO.  But perhaps I misunderstood
what you meant.
