Could the code to capture DECT traffic go into libpcap?

So DECT and DECT 6.0 are close enough that they can use LINKTYPE_DECT/ 
DLT_DECT?

And is "US-DECT" a US-specific scheme?

        http://www.dectweb.com/LearningZone/WDCTTech.htm

claims that the "W" in "WDCT" is "Worldwide", but also claims that  
it's US-specific.  (BTW, does "US" in this context mean "US and  
Canada" or "North America" rather than just the US?)
