* Great work so far!

* The roles "client" and "server" could be misleading. What if you're
  in a P2P UDP-based environment? It seems to me that "initiator" and
  "responder" are more appropriate choices.

* If you specify the syntax in ASN.1, then you gain the advantage of
  not tying yourself down to a particular encoding. In particular,
  GSER[0] and XER[1] produce human-readable output which can be edited
  by hand (one of your design principles). And with PER[2] you get a
  compact representation (another design principle).

Just my thoughts so far.
