WTAP_ENCAP_ values are internal to Ethereal; there is no guarantee that the numerical values for given WTAP_ENCAP_ tags will remain the same from release to release. The only thing that would be reserved would be the names WTAP_ENCAP_USER0 through WTAP_ENCAP_USER15. 

Thanks for new DLT_USER* values.

It is not necessary to have fixed values for WTAP_ENCAP_USER* tags.
Reserved WTAP_ENCAP_USER* names and DLT_USER* -> WTAP_ENCAP_USER* mapping is enough.
It allows registering of private dissectors to WTAP_ENCAP_USER* values.

Patch with these new WTAP_ENCAP_USER* tags is attached.
