  Log:
  And explain why the fact that RFC 2858 says you can't do what RFC 2545
  suggests, and that RFC 2858 obsoletes RFC 2283 which says you can,
  doesn't matter - Ethereal's job isn't to enforce protocol standards or
  to refuse to dissect stuff that doesn't conform to the final version of
  standards; if it can dissect stuff that's now illegal but that wasn't
  illegal in the past, and do so without causing problems when dissecting
  currently legal stuff, it should so so, so that if you have captures
  that include now-illegal stuff (perhaps from old devices that haven't
  been upgraded, or from old captures), you can still see what was
  happening.
