* This represents a sequence of ASN.1 objects,

* 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.
