This is not to say that a patch that implemented these changes would be accepted anyway. It would be interesting to get a ruling from the Ethereal demigods on policy for display of reserved and undefined message elements.

Hi (no demigod here),

Its been my experience with some protocol analyzers for GSM at least
to show *reserved* bits as just that , reserved, rather than being misteriously
vacant in the bitmap .

I personally find it a little clearer to read.
