If you need the ability to "Suppress raw bytes", you obviously will not be able
to send traces, as traces *are* the raw bytes.  Presumably, for that, you're
talking about sending the output of "Export as plain text" or of running
"tshark -V" on the file.

Wireshark *already* has the ability to, for "Export as plain text", control
whether the packet details or raw bytes are shown - presumably you mean
something other than that for

    Suppression:
    checked      Suppress raw bytes
    unchecked    Suppress details

You speak of "specify[ing] certain fields within the trace that I want
Wireshark to suppress"; I assume you're referring to that, so that the packet
detail information for those (and any custom columns in the packet summary for
those) would not be shown.  Presumably the hex dump contents for those fields
would also be suppressed, e.g. by showing each byte as just "XX", so it's not
as if "suppress raw bytes" and "suppress details" would be separate operations
- they'd *both* be suppressed.

Obfuscation could be done for "Export as plain text" output - and, with some
additional work, could perhaps be leveraged for obfuscating trace files.

"Annotation", at least for IP addresses, could already be done with a private
host file, if we're talking about the output of "Export as plain text".
