As for ?ExpressionSet:

annotation: A character describing the platform on which the samples were assayed. This is often the name of a Bioconductor chip annotation package, which facilitated down-stream analysis.

For instance, EntrezIdVector and EnsemblIdVector could store the org*db package that should be used to fetch information about each identifier.

That said, make sure a use case accompanied the new code, to prove ourselves that this is viable in practice, and not just theoretically.
