We face the problem that people stores the UB matrix and the 
diffractometer positions together with the images but we do not have any 
of the other unit cell parameters.

I guess the best thing I can do then is to use a 
not-yet-official-and-perhpas-never-official ub term inside NXsample with 
dimensions [n_comp, 3, 3].

Concerning the other question concerning sample orientation specified by 
3 floats. Is that intended to be hkl?

Best,

Armando
