I'm sorry I don't quite get your objection, are you saying that we
shouldn't define a vendor block type?
But rather have an IANA block type registry and any one can just
register a block type?
Come to think of it perhaps we shouldn't allow block types without a
specification. If it is pcap-ng then
it should be specified what the content is otherwise people can define
their own file formats.
