I'm just leveraging our Expressions code there. * The separation between effects parameters and technique parameters. This is needed to protect external clients of effects (like material animations) from the details of individual techniques.

When I wrote the example I thought, in the context of effects inheritance, the names would have be done this way, but they can also be named with a <unit> tag inside the <texture> block and a bit of code to coalesce like texture units when doing inheritance. > > <ambient><use>material/ambient</use></ambient> ?
