The xml2rfc tool makes it fairly easy.

See https://github.com/dwmw2/ietf-cert-best-practice for a template; in
Appendix B there is an example of specifying an ASN.1 format.

We should probably define not just the ASN.1 format but also a URI
scheme for referencing objects in NVRAM. A TPMv2 version of 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-mavrogiannopoulos-tpmuri-01
might be a good idea.
