I wasn't saying we should; conversations can be shared by multiple
dissectors (that's why I changed the code for private data attached to a
conversation to include the protocol key as an argument to the "attach"
and "lookup" operations, although I guess if you run X.25-over-TCP and
then run IP over X.25, you could have a packet belong to two *unrelated*
TCP connections...).
