Ok, thanks. I will open a bug request then.

The dissector is of a proprietary protocol which is completely reverse
engineered. There is no official documentation available.
The protocol is used in programmable logic controlles by Siemens, I
think the most common vendor in Europe for those controllers.

I don't know if there are other reverse engineered protocols in
wireshark, but for myself I would like when the delivered plugins with
wireshark refer to official documents or rfcs, and not guessed as my
dissector.
Is there a official wireshark point of view?

The website is:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/s7commwireshark/

There are some sample captures available.
