Ya, that's true. I guess my instinct was that most protocols shouldn't claim
their payloads, so e.g. TCP shouldn't be passing -1 or tvb_reported_length() or
anything like that, it should be passing 20 (or more, adjusting for options).
However, I expect the ship sailed on that debate a long time ago :)

It's a bit hard to tell with just grep and friends, but it does appear that
most protocols simply pass -1 already.
