Hi,
ISUP(ITU) was added because of 
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200310/msg00292.html
As an ANSI ISUP message will (probaby) be wrongly decoded.
At the moment we do not decode ANSI ISUP or any national ISUP messages only ITU version.
Best regards
Anders

I've checked that in - but, when constructing the parameter tvbuff, I
just use -1 for the lengths, so that its "reported length" is set
correctly even if the packet was cut short by a snapshot length (and
made some other changes).

I'll leave it up to the other ISUP dissector developers to indicate why
they tagged it with "(ITU)" (I don't see any place where it tags it as
"(ANSI)"; I assume the purpose of the "(ITU)" was to distinguish between
dialects of ISUP, assuming there *are* non-ITU dialects).

I'll also ask them if there's any reason not to:

...add in that extra white space.
