Are DTAP traces sufficiently common that it'd be useful to add a WTAP_ENCAP_GSM_DTAP - and possibly reserve a DLT_ value for it? (I don't know what binary trace formats from various GSM-tracing equipment exist, or whether they're either documented or reverse-engineerable; if any are, the ability to read them might be useful.)
