While ip.addr != x is probably not meaningful; tcp.port != x might be (some tcp or udp protocols use the same port on both ends sometimes, perhaps).
 How about ip.addr <> x to mean "neither src nor dst == x"?

Or "ip.addr <> x" means "for all instances of ip.addr, the value of the instance is not x" (and "ip.src <> x" means "for all instances of ip.src, the value of the instance is not x", etc.).

Yes.  I like that. It helps with the ICMP and IP in IP issues.
