------- Comment #8 from martin.mathieson@xxxxxxxxxxxx  2006-09-26 16:40 GMT -------
I didn't get any response to the patch I send to the wireshark-dev list a
couple of weeks ago.

http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200609/msg00499.html

The code that that patch avoids running (for FT_NONE fields) will write out:
- "show" attribute
- "value" attribute

These look to me as if they are only valid for fields that actually have a
value (where show may be scaled or offset from the value read from the relevant
bytes).

My only question is:
- according to the PDML schema, do these attributes need to be present?  If so,
would what should FT_NONE fields show here?

If someone can either:
- confirm that these attributes are optional, I'll submit the patch as-is, OR
- tell me someone appropriate to output instead in the absence of having real
values to report, I'll make it output that instead
