It is hard to correct misconceptions, but let me try:
Fast Infoset does not require a ASN.1 toolkit.
The misconception probably arises because the
ITU-T Rec. X.891 | ISO/IEC 24824-1 Specification
uses the ASN.1 descriptive formalism and because it
was done by the same ISO / ITU-T group that worked over the years on ASN.1,
but there is no required dependency - for instance the
Implementation in Project GlassFish does not use ASN.1 at all.
