Taking this idea further.. what if we had a GUI interface that the 
user/developer could pick apart packets with and sort them into the 
right fields.  This could be very helpful when figuring out how to 
dissect protocols in a capture file that have no dissector yet.  Build a 
prototype dissector in this XML/LUA/other method and once everything is 
figured out, then write it in C.
