I would probably find use for those additions, but I haven't started
working on them yet. I can see myself adding support for .11e and .11i
at some point, but I would certainly not mind if someone else would
implement it ;-). Some IEEE 802.11 drafts have been somewhat moving
target so far, but maybe now would be a good time to add support for
.11e and .11i.

I don't know Ethereal internals well enough to comment on item 1, but I
can try to allocate enough time to review any ideas on 802.11 related
items 2 and 3.
