Assuming that it is desirable for Ethereal to be able to intelligently dissect such frames, what's preventing Ethereal from support them? Is it the lack of someone to code it? Or maybe a lack of knowledge of the spec? 

Probably the first of those, and possibly also the second of those.
Unfortunately, if, as probably is the case, the first of those is part of the problem, providing the knowledge won't help much until somebody has the free time to write a dissector.
