It would cause problems for programs that parse TShark -T text (default text)
output (or "export the packet dissections as plain text" Wireshark output), but
programs should avoid doing that if possible - they should use other -T
formats, in which the abbrev is used.
It shouldn't cause problem for any other software; filters, for example, use
the abbrev. ("abbrev" should be thought of as the field name, and "name"
should be thought of as the field *description*.)
