Correct. Still, almost all registries have a “reference” column, that can be used to reference a document that contains a specification (or can be used like one in a pinch). >> For example, LINKTYPE_LINUX_SLL just says "Linux "cooked" capture >> encapsulation", but does not indicate what that is; the entry for it on >> the tcpdump.org link-layer header types page at > >> https://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html > >> has a link to a description of the format. > > okay, so let's include that link. That would be in the references column, I’d think. We even can have notes explaining how the reference applies to this specific usage.
