Well, then, if "WAN", as they're using it, has nothing to do with Wide
Area Networks, and those are just Ethernet captures, I guess it's just a
question of somebody having the time and energy to try adding support
for writing that format (I don't - even if it's just cut, paste, and
modify, there's also the "test" stage, and I don't have a Sniffer handy
to read them, and don't have the time and energy for teledebugging with
somebody who does).

Well, perhaps they're either smarter than us, or have more time to spend
looking at the problem and implementing something (they're paid to do
that, most of us aren't).
