The names aren't flat. To find out the number for "standard", you
ask iso.  To find out the number of abstract-syntax, you ask the entity
that maintains "8571" (you might have to ask "standard" who that is).

I'm not used to seeing a space before the "(2)" but I I suppose it's
possible and/or legal. :)

Yup, that's definitely in ASN.1

I don't see why you couldn't do that.  But I wouldn't bother to make
*my* parser do anything other than gripe "got array wanted scalar" :)
