| Hmm, that sounds to me like the first export function, so we 
| should put this into a new submenu item? What about putting this into:
| 
| File->Export->Raw Packet Data (Of Selected Area)

I'd propose to use "File -> Export" as menu item, and then let the user pick
an option from a list (radio button): selected frames, selected frame,
selected data in frame  (or something like that). You could even add an
option having either the value "export to bytes in network-order" (default),
"export as hex" or "export as (what we call the byte view)".

| Putting this into an export submenu makes it more obvious,

| or "Save As" functions.

Do you see XML output as a Save option or as an Export option?
