Before we get started on going through the process of committing and reviewing the changes into Wireshark I wanted to find out if this is something that is allowed and would get approved (after following the process of course).
As Dario has already said, there should not be any problems. You will
have to release the changes under the GPL, though.
As a matter of interest, is it a separate protocol or is it an
addendum to an existing protocol?

Anything that improves existing dissectors is welcome.
