I have a few points to verify with the diff (and understand the rationale):

    - Should the hf_register_info->header_field_info->type 'ftenum' be
      FT_STRING or FT_STRINGZ?  What is the difference?  It says to use
      FT_STRINGZ with proto_tree_add_item(), but why is it different?

    - Is ENC_ASCII the right argument for proto_tree_add_item? RFC2661 says the
      AVP contents is ASCII. Seems obvious, but I just want to be sure.

    - It appears that the ASCII payload could have length '0' (avp length 6),
      where there is no space for the NULL terminating character. In this case,
      'avp_len' would be '0' due to subtractions for the AVP header. Would the
      '0' length sufficiently protect against overrunning the AVP payload? I
      assume the 'length' argument to proto_tree_add_item() has the protection
      for missing NULL termination, but I want to be sure.

Thanks,
-Andy
