Your observation is absolutely correct, AFAIK this is not (yet!) defined in
the API .

It's not deprecated, but was done quickly to test the the AA and is used
only for a test resource.

I think it would be best if you just pick up parameter names which you
prefer (hopefully the same as ALU and NTUA are using) and document it in the
wiki.  I don't have preferences and it will be easy to change ambit code to
reflect your choice.
