I think what should be made should be very much up to the mod developers. They just have to tell us what is available, possibly through another query. Start off with some basic information that every game should have (player name, player ping, player connection time) then allow mods to add the extra. As not every mod uses things like health (HL Rally), Armour (DoD) and has their own extra data as you mentioned Brian.
