So that would be option (c) then?
c) Define ENC_NA differently from both ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN and ENC_BIG_ENDIAN.

The impact of this would imply these other changes:

For every proto_tree_add_*() function:
-> Change the "const gboolean little_endian" argument to something like "gint endian"
-> Verify "endian" is valid for the given FT_ and choke on invalid ones.

And of course, change all the dissectors to use appropriate ENC_'s in the proto_tree_add_*() function calls.
