When we made those changes, I put more detailed explanations that show 
up on the bottom left of the Wireshark window:

Identifer (BE) -> "Identifier (big endian representation) (icmp.ident)"
Identifier (LE) -> "Identifier (little endian representation) (icmp.ident)"

and so on.. I wish more dissector writers would use that area instead of 
leaving it blank.
