After 6 years without feedback I dropped the fork, hence closing the PR.
Hope your PR gets merged.
The tests commented out rely on content inspection like it used to be done for XML files. Idk if it can still be done.

This is referenced in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3784 (years long discussion). That's how I found here. What are the reasons for this to be labeled as draft?

Life got in the way. 🤣

Other key issue is that I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing to differentiate the different subtypes after I have the asn1 objects.

@marcelstoer if my hackery looks good to you, we can merge this in main and 3.x.

Does everything in handleRootNode make sense: https://github.com/apache/tika/pull/2281/files#diff-5a26b8c1832969c3c4b279df1fa66811d46a57da6589767ee4bb584de1fa84faR120
