Not a new question. Please see RFC 31, Feb 1968, for the earliest
proposed solution to your problem, AFAIK. This proposal by Bobrow and
Sutherland was actually used exactly one time, AFAIK: RFC 88, by your
truly, in Jan 1971. I guess it was not such a hot idea.

I often find myself in the situation of wanting to write a breakdown
of the protocol that some program (either my own or some other by
reading its code or RCE) uses for its network communication, but there
is just no standard on how to document the structure of packets in
those.
