I'm not really interested in someone else's Camera HAL implementation, I have my own. What I'm interested in is making sure I stay in sync with the potential future list of camera parameters. For instance, say I want to add a new feature to control flash, so in my implementation I add a "flash-mode" parameter for this. There is no way to know whether "flash-mode" will be a common name that all manufacturers will use. Maybe next week the someone will release a product using "strobe-mode" or "flash-state" or anything that is different than what I chose. It seems that the OHA should decide on a list of camera parameters for the common features that will be likely added over the next year or two so that all vendors can use them when adding these common features. If this doesn't happen then the developers of camera related apps will have to have platform specific code to handle the differences in the implementations camera parameters, which really seems to go against what I perceive as one of the big benefits of this framework, portability.
