For "support" as in "support a file format containing", Wireshark supports two
STANAGs - STANAG 4607 and files containing STANAG 5066 D_PDUs.  Those are the
only ones listed in the file Jakub modified, and the only ones that should be
listed there.

For "support" as in "dissect the protocol", Wireshark also supports:

    STANAG 4066 S_PDUs transported over TCP;

    STANAG 4406 messages, which appear either to be ASN.1 encoded
(epan/dissectors/packet-p772.c, as generated from the files in asn1/p772) or
transported over UDP for the Direct Message Profile
(epan/dissectors/packet-dmp.c).

Those are contained within existing capture file formats that support the
protocols atop which TCP and UDP run, or would be contained within an ASN.1
BER-encoded file or protocol, so they don't require their own file format.
