I do the same little trick in packet-bootp.c. I use ETT_BOOTP_OPTION
for all possible BOOTP option types (around 77 of them in Ethereal so far).

I think that opening one subtree and then having 5 or 10 other subtrees
in a BOOTP packet (there's a variable amount of Options in a BOOTP packet)
would be surprising to the user.

But then again, so is visiting another BOOTP packet (or revisiting the
original BOOTP packet) and see all subtrees opened.

Or I could make 77 different ETT tags for the BOOTP options. :)
