Captures probably don't really have specific "offsets"; what they have 
is a protocol whose headers are a specific *size*.  Luis's example uses 
a dissector, written in Lua, that "dissects" the headers without looking 
at them.

So what's really wanted is, I think, a way to make it easier to add 
dissectors.
