I'll look at rewriting that to clarify that they're not modes of operation of Wireshark, and that one must not make assumptions about when you'll be called with, or without, a protocol tree (other than "if Wireshark needs the entire tree, for whatever reason that might be, it'll pass a non-null pointer; otherwise, it might be null or it might be non-null, don't depend on either one").
