You are actually using them to put redundant information that could be
encoded differently and thus save 4 bits per event records, more or less
what will be needed by most tracers (15 IDs, 1 reserved for an extended
ID field).

So the fact that you use them does not mean they are really required,
and I don't think such duplicated information actually makes things more
solid. Maybe just more obscure ?
