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.
