About XML/DTD:
The XML dissector would need far more than FT_STRING_UNICODE to handle
XML with multibyte encoded chars .
The tvbparse API (on which the xml dissector) would need to be exteded
to handle multi-byte chars. And some parts of how to do it aren't
clear to me. What about multibyte chars in entities data and/or
entity/element/attribute names in DTDs? That means that the DTD
parser needs to be extended as well.

PS: In theory for adding support for an XML protocol all you need is
to write a DTD.
