Related notes:

Either I disagree or I don't understand the request.

As far as I see, the *only* parameter allowed in the service description is "target". What else is needed? And if more is needed, what does it mean? Allowing arbitrary additional parameters would not be compatible with a REST API using a URI template per section 4.3.

None of this precludes a specific service from allowing and recognizing additional parameters, but I don't think we need to explain that. (That is partly why the service description document should be used, so the server has a way to expose its local functionality and options.)

Clarify that other parameters can be described though the service description URI template.
