While you're looking at string handling, it might be interesting to see
if, instead of the current (resuscitated) scheme in which a count of
levels up the tree with which to decorate items with a string name is
supplied, a way in which the dissector for the top-level item could
somehow say "decorate me and all the other items below me".

BTW, in some cases you get stuff such as this, in a SAMR LookupDomain
request:

    Domain: XXXXX
        Domain: XXXXX
            Length: 10
            Size: 12
            Domain: XXXXX
                Referent ID: 0x08066d20
                Max Length: 6
                Offset: 0
                Length: 5
                Domain: XXXXX

Is there really one extra level of pointer in there, so that you get the
extra "Domain:" header at the top?
