Re: Transport name resolution

Should we, instead, look the port number up in the "tcp.port" or "udp.port" (or "sctp.port") dissector table and, if it 
finds a dissector handle, look up the short name of the protocol for that dissector handle and use that?

I think this is more useful, since the dissector short name is typically used as the filter prefix. It is just confusing if slightly different strings are shown, because they come from some other list/database.
