I think that would be OK. In version detection I probably would have
called them security-misc. And I haven't been using proxy server
or web server in VD either so we might need to go back and normalise
those there.

Some of the ones in VD that aren't found in OD like "x-ray machine"
and such I think we should just move to specialized.
