I tend to agree with Matt on the GUI portion: the WS packet display is
a big GTK tree control. Structurally it is similar to XML in that XML
is a directed acyclic graph (tree), but if one just dumped the packet
there as XML it would be a big string, not searchable via the normal
WS filters.

What could work is if CPlusPlus library were integrated into WS and
the XML generator were made available through File->Export, or a new
option under Analyze. That would leverage WS ability to capture
traffic without affecting it, and do all post facto, tricky
desegmentation work that being a passive observer necessitates..
