What does it mean to be "detected"? Let's take a simple example of a
box with a script inside that calls llDetectedKey() and
llDetectedOwner() in touch_start. Then both would return the UUID of my
avatar?

Also, how can an object "touch" another object, with some function call?

I think I was unclear, the _key, _key2, _int, _bool, etc. variables are
defined in the llDetectParams struct
(OpenSim/Region/ScriptEngine/Common/ScriptEngineBase/EventManager.cs
line 152).

Thanks for the help thus far though. Things are becoming clearer.
