The DIS dissector, prior to v2.0 updates, displayed the header timestamp format
as:

  MM:SS.nnnnnn

When many updates were made to the dissector code, the format changed to:

  SSSS.nnn

The DIS spec defines this field simply as the number of microseconds that have
passed since the start of the current hour (whether relative or absolute).  The
best way to display that is in the old format:

  MM:SS.nnnnnn

Attached a screencap with the proposed format.
