...proposed changes to the format.

I am, however, planning on proposing a mechanism for vendor-specific "custom" 
link-layer types, inspired by the pcapng "custom" block types and option types, 
for use in both pcap and pcapng.  That'll be in a separate message.

As with pcapng block types and options, anything of *general* use that a vendor 
would like multiple programs to be able to handle should probably be proposed 
as a part of the standard, with a register link-layer type/block number/option 
number.
