Please see the Implementer's Guide I-D for clarifications
(draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpimpguide-16); note this text is going
into the 2960bis. :-)

"Tag reflected" and "Tag not reflected" are more implementation
neutral as not all implementations use a "TCB", and "TCB" has
been removed from the text.  The T-bit indicates whether the
V-Tag is reflected, or not.

Thus, I think the current dissector should be left as is.
