------- Comment #9 from paul.blankenbaker@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-09-26 17:47 GMT -------
I found this PDML Specification document (not sure how valid it is):
http://analyzer.mirror.ethereal.com/docs/dissectors/PDMLSpec.htm
It looks to me like both the "show" and "value" attributes are required.
Would setting these attributes to an empty string (ie: show="") be a reasonable
solution to this problem?
