Checked in.

I can't think of one that's obviously better, offhand.  One additional
way would be to add a new FT_ value for TSAPs, and have that type
display its value as strings or bytes dependent on the preference
setting and contents of the field, and allow either text strings or byte
strings to be specified as values in filters, but that'd require that
the code to handle that field type know the preference setting, and I
don't know whether the "text strings or byte strings" would be easy to
implement.
