/**
 * This represents a sequence of ASN.1 objects,
 * where ASN.1 is "Abstract Syntax Notation number One".
 *
 * Overview of how this ASN1 interface is intended to
 * work.
 *
 * First off, the nsIASN1Sequence is any type in ASN1
 * that consists of sub-elements (ie SEQUENCE, SET)
 * nsIASN1Printable Items are all the other types that
 * can be viewed by themselves without interpreting further.
 * Examples would include INTEGER, UTF-8 STRING, OID.
 * These are not intended to directly reflect the numberous
 * types that exist in ASN1, but merely an interface to ease
 * producing a tree display the ASN1 structure of any DER
 * object.
 *
 * The additional state information carried in this interface
 * makes it fit for being used as the data structure
 * when working with visual reprenstation of ASN.1 objects
 * in a human user interface, like in a tree widget
 * where open/close state of nodes must be remembered.
