I've committed the change to CVS. Update and read the
doc/README.xml-output file for more information.
Should the mapping from Ethereal-specific names to generic PDML names (e.g. "frame.number" -> "geninfo.num") be done by adding an additional field to the "header_field_info" structure after "blurb" - if it's null, use the Ethereal name, otherwise use that name? That might be cleaner than wiring knowledge of particular fields into the output-as-XML code. 

That'd require either
1) two versions of HFILL, one for fields with both types of name and one for fields without both types of name 

or

	2) a huge amount of editing.
