Re: Undissected reserved fields

What I've done is usually setup a FT_UINT32 and/or a FT_BYTES (with different abbreviations) and that's usually 
inclusive enough (maybe if I'm feeling generous setup a FT_UINT8 though FT_UINT32).  If dissectors only have FT_UINT8 
"reserved" fields, then I just add that.  But I rarely look to give each reserved field a unique name.

How do we handle the case where a protocol has many reserved fields, do they each need an hf and a name?
