Nope, they sound good to me and will make things more consistent (with the small correction that the fields are *_raw instead of *_abs).
A few additions:
- "tcp.nxtseq" will need to have a "tcp.nxtseq_raw" added
- "tcp.options.sack_le" and "tcp.options.sack_re" will also need *_raw versions
Cheers,
