But please, if you are writing code, display the
packet in th estandard TAPR-2 Monitor format
which is only marking the LAST one with a *.
To my knowledge there are only two formats.
the correct TAPR-2 display format and the
AEA format which is NOT desired.

Please do not invent a third one that we might
have to code for in the future...

Thanks
Bob

Yep.

Which vendor?  Perhaps that kind'a answers your question?
