Certainly. But it would be better to define a good, general format for
detector information which different detector groups can use as a baseline
and, if needed, modify to suit their needs than to have them re-invent the
wheel for each detector in inconsistent ways. (At the moment, for instance,
different banks use different names to refer to the same quantity.)

Event, primary, and trajectory data can, I think, be structured the same
for hits in all detectors.

This reminds me: I'd like to see some degree of standardization of volume
IDs. Right now it's anarchy.
