It's ridiculous that we would even consider endorsing a blatant
reinvention of the wheel like WAP BXML rather than simply using ASN.1 as
our standard binary encoding. Particularly since, as a bonus, that would
allow us to store our duplication information directly in the Debian
project LDAP servers without further encoding.
