Note also that the "_format" routines are needed only if you want the
entry in the protocol dissection to look like something other than

	Name: value

where "Name" is a string you specify for the field and "value" is the
value displayed in the standard format for that field type - e.g., a
host name or dotted quad for an IPv4 address.
