Yes, DER vs. BER.  ASN.1 is actually pretty
cool (bits on the wire in X.690, not X.680).

The encoding also reminds me of UTF-8 which is
a variable length:

     0xxxxxxx
     110xxxxx 10yyyyyy
     1110xxxx 10yyyyyy 10zzzzzz
     11110xxx 10yyyyyy 10zzzzzz 10wwwwww

UTF-8 requires using the fewest number of bytes
to represent a Unicode code point.
