I thought someone earlier referred to doing just that -- I thought it was a reference to outputs of dissectors and comments and names in dissector code. If some protocol three levels deep conventionally calls its unit of information a "frame", I don't see why an ethereal display at that level shouldn't say "frame length = 40, frame header=..." or whatever.
