Making the source code available for us to look at, and also making  
the specification for the XML-based language available, would be a  
first step.

There doesn't currently exist a mechanism in the Wireshark source tree  
to allow a protocol to be specified with a descriptive language and  
have the specification loaded at run time.

There *does* exist a mechanism for Wireshark, but not currently in the  
Wireshark tree, to allow that, namely wsgd; ultimately, I'd like to  
see at least one mechanism in the Wireshark tree, and have the wsgd  
language be at least one of the specification languages supported by  
it.  (I could see other languages available to have specifications  
loaded at run time, such as ASN.1, ONC RPC's rpcgen language, one of  
DCE RPC's IDLs such as PIDL, etc.)
