I agree that it would be good to have PSML format output from Ethereal. For
some of the applications I'm thinking of it is probably better to use PSML,
but for some it will be good to use PDML with Info-column information when I
need both packet details and Info-column things.

It could be possible to produce both  PDML file and a PSML file and read
both of them in order to get both details and
the Info-column things, but I was thinking that it might be good to have the
Info-column data in PDML.
