 ### Optimistic Parsing
 
-This is a dumbed-down, minimal ASN1 parser
+This is a dumbed-down, minimal ASN1 parser.
-(though quite clever in its simplicity).
 
-There are some ASN.1 types (at least Bit String and Octet String,
+Rather than incorporating knowledge of each possible x509 schema
-possibly others) that can be treated either as primitive values or
+to know whether to traverse deeper into a value container,
-as container types base on the schema being used.
+it always tries to dive in (and backs out when parsing fails).
 
-Rather than incorporating knowledge of each possible x509 schema,
+It is possible that it will produce false positives, but not likely
-this parser will return values for types that are _always_ values,
+in real-world scenarios (PEM, x509, CSR, etc).
-it recurse on types that are _always_ containers and, for ambigiuous
-types, it will first try to recurse and, on error, will fall back to
-returning a value.
-
-In theory, it is possible that it will produce false positives,
-but that would be highly unlikely in real-world scenarios
-(PEM, x509, PKCS#1, SEC1, PKCS#8, SPKI, PKIX, CSR, etc).
 
 I'd be interested to hear if you encounter such a case.
