+1 for the CR, but I would like us to be clear on the use of the host
details in the implementation.

The detection NVT is using the host details to pass info about the result
to the Manager.  I wonder if this is going to work in all cases.  For
example, when an NVT detects multiple versions of a program.  Will the
Manager be able to tell which detection result is associated with which
vulnerability result?  Also I wonder if the host details can be used this
way in general, to pass result-specific info (as opposed to host-specific
info).

This is why I'm asking on openvas-plugins if we need a result details
concept analogous to the host details.

>From what I understand, a result detail would provide a direct way for
Henri's patch to present the location and product to clients in this
situation, instead of Manager having to dig around for this special case.

Jan has been saying that in the long term the static result descriptions
are removed from the NVT.  So what happens to the dynamic parts of results?
Perhaps they go in result details?

Anyone have a clear perspective on this?
