It appears to reassemble data from multiple frames; you might want to
put a list of frames into the protocol tree, as is done for other forms
of multi-frame reassembley (see the "IP Fragments" entry for frame 2,
for example).

You also might want to mark the TLS data in all but the last frame as
fragments, and show it only in the final frame; seeing the same data in
multiple frames makes it look, at least to me, as if *both* frames
contained that data, i.e. that data was transmitted twice.  (Yes, we
show it for all frames for IP reassembly; I'm not sure that's a good
idea, either.  We don't do that for TCP reassembly.)
