Maybe you are right but section 3.1 says "MUST correspond to a formal publication by a recognized standards body". By "recognized standards body" I have a feeling they mean, like, IEEE or ISO. Let's start by writing down the format spec (in the form of a pcap(5) manpage as previously suggested) and then contact ietf-types () iana org and see what they say. I'm sure they will advise us.
(We'd be registering a subtype name, not a type name, as I understand it.)
