"Because of this, CER requires less metadata for large encoded values, while DER does it for small ones."

[edit]

Shouldnt this be "Because of this, CER requires less metadata for _small_ encoded values, while DER does it for small ones."? For large encoded values the both end-of-data octet (CER) and data-length value (DER) are negligible in occupying size fraction compared to the data payload itself. Its with small values that a difference could be noticable...
