That seems reasonable. But, when you're trying to figure out why the dissector is calling the packet bad, it's sometimes helpful to know why it's bad. (Diameter is a new protocol, undergoing heavy development). What about a preferences setting, something like "Verbose Error Messages" that would output g_warnings() everywhere for warnings.
