Getting started writing a dissector plugin in lua, I found the examples
on the wiki to be rather esoteric.  Only having previously written a
plugin in C gave me any idea where to start.

Is there any interest in including a more "ordinary" dissector example
on the wiki, or with the wireshark install for that matter?

Here is a working example, however I've no idea if it is best-practice
implementation...
That's an excellent question. I gave up experiments with LUA dissectors since I could not see any relation between the examples and my previous dissectors implemented with C++. 

I don't know if your example uses best practices. But it's comprehensive.
