You think so? What would be the name of the "vendor" then? And:

"the registration formally belongs to the vendor or organization
producing the software or file format being registered."

Is that appropriate for a file format defined by free software and
used by many applications other than tcpdump?

I was thinking it would belong in the standard tree (RFC4288 3.1). This
requires writing an RFC.
