Getting started writing a dissector plugin in lua, I found the examples

Is there any interest in including a more "ordinary" dissector example
on the wiki, or with the wireshark install for that matter?

Here is a working example, however I've no idea if it is best-practice
implementation...

Here is a Lua dissector that I wrote, it could be used as another example.
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/LLUDP_Dissector

It is released under the BSD license.

Also for people that want to make Lua dissectors may want to checkout this 
patch that I submitted:
