Is it worthwhile to try and bring that page up to date?

There appears to be some misinformation, and some stuff that has recently been added that would change yes's to no's.

It also appears that an "expert" mode seems to be the biggest pitfall of using ethereal... I personally don't know what would normally be in such a mode. I could imagine that some "expert" features are burried in the normal protocol dissectors (and might also need to be enabled in the preferences before first use... like the overlooked http reassembly)).

Should there be any effort to correlate the entries in the table with official wish list items?

Have you seen this comparison page?
http://www.thetechfirm.com/reviews/ I found it several months ago... It is a little outdated but it does
have quite a bit of information.

Indeed, there is quite a lot of information there. Some things that are
missing are:

  Number of protocols
  Extent to which protocols are handled
  Analysis screens ...
