Issue

7-3 defines basic types (INT8, INT8U, INT16, STRING32, etc...)
Is that the intention that every type that is followed by an indication of its size is to be encoded with a fixed size in BER,
i.e. INT8 always as one octet, INT16 always as two octets, STRING32 always as 32 octets (how about Unicode ?) ?

Proposal

Specify the mapping between the -7-3 types, the -6 MMS types, the Data types and the ASN.1 encoding.
