In my view, only the first syntax sould be allowed.
For instance, in real world protocols are nested (Ethernet includes IP that includes
TCP...).
However, when you display such a packet on the screen, you should display it as:
ethernet
field1
field2
....
IP
field1
....
So, it is much easier not to have nested <proto> tags, since this is not what you want
in the output.
This is how PDML has been defined so far.
Just my idea, obviously.
Cheers,
