Identifying Raid Boss Encounter

Hello everyone again :-) Got another request for help, this one hopefully a little more straight forward than localization...

What's the best way to determine if the combat someone is engadged in is a raid boss? not necessarily of the current expansion but if it could do that too, it would be great :-). Idea is I want my addon to behave differently depending on if they are engadged on a difficult fight or not.

The functions UnitLevel("target") and UnitClassification(unit) look like they could be useful, but still not quite there. Ideally I'd like to avoid having to hard code instances/boss names, but if that's what it takes then so be it :-). Even with that though, I'm still not sure how it would identify the boss unless it was targeted. I assume there's a different, better way.

Thanks for your help!
