I see what you mean now.
The plugins are for old versions, and I suspect using XML based dissection would be slower than the current built-in dissector.
It would be a difficult decision to replace the current dissector with the XML based one, and would depend on a number of factors including performance, completeness and that the XML based one uses C++.
Personally I would just use available info to extend the current dissector as that's likely to be the least amount of work.
