In *every* application it is the same FE type as the solution vector.
That's how the library decides how many degrees of freedom to
allocate, how to project the solutions when there's mesh refinement,
and so on.  If another application is trying to store non-FEM data
with add_vector(), that's their bug and the library doesn't need to
worry about it.

Whether the output is physically meaningful and important is up to the
user, true, but it would never be unpredictable.
