It looks, more or less, as if we somewhat converged on the approach I proposed:

    http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201304/msg00162.html

    http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201304/msg00170.html

in which libwiretap provides "records" rather than "packets", with some records
being provided in a standardized format (such as records containing packets)
and others being provided in capture-file-format-specific form, and code
running atop libwiretap, such as libwireshark, supporting a table into which
libwiretap routines or plugin routines could register to handle particular
record types.

I'm currently working on some infrastructural changes to support that.
