Are you just looking for the FIX5*.xml files to be added (for your own
generation of packet-fix.h) or do you expect FIX50SP2.xml to be the new
"standard".  I generated a packet-fix.h from FIX50SP2.xml and it has both
additions and subtractions from the v4 stuff.  Its the subtractions that worry
me more (and that they should be "manually" added).  That looks to be why there
is a FIX.xml that Wireshark uses as a "collection" of data from various
versioned xml files.
