Is that because there are some numerically-represented media types that
have no corresponding text-represented media types?

If not, perhaps those media types should be registered under their text
name as well; if that's done, would it make sense to have the WSP
dissector map the numerical media type to a text media type, and do
handoffs by looking up that media type in the "media_type" dissector
table?
