And in the example above I would say that the "{1}.csv" input file is

csv generator, that is an implementation detail.
For me it's much about the "nature". What's an optional parameter,
what's not? Does it make sense to remove the parameter?
To apply it here: A service generator without a service URL is nonsense.
You can have as much post data as you want. It's still nonsense. The
"nature" is determined by the actual service in use and so by its URL.
But a service generator without any post data makes absolutely sense
since it might really be optional to post anything. And I find it quite
strange to write
<map:generate>
<map:parameter name="service" value="servlet:test2:/extract-html"/>
</map:generate>
