If nmap goes to the trouble of collecting banners to detect protocols, I'd
hate to throw out that info.  Maybe there could be a "verbose" option, so
the user could either:

# nmap -sS -doubleCheckProtocol
[does the above]

or

# nmap -sS -doubleCheckProtocol -printBanners
[above plus a separate listing of the banner at each port (separate like the
OS-detection info) and the result of the "GET"]
