As making the code consistent has been rejected and the tap idea won’t work, where do we go from here?

As somebody said:

We might also want a way to have taps/"post-"dissectors that act as extensions to particular protocol dissectors - 
that might be what TRANSUM, and possibly MATE, *really* want to be.)

and as somebody said in

        https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201702/msg00082.html

Alternatively, we could have a set of flags used when post-dissectors are registered, including "this post-dissector 
needs a protocol tree", and, if there are any active post-dissectors that require a protocol tree, one will be 
generated.
