Not sure. Way back when I only recall discussion taking place about what 
the parameters would be named when going through the reflector, not what 
the format options should be named.

I agree it would be better to have the parameters be named the same, i 
can't think of any reason not to. Unfortunately we are stuck with those 
format options for backwards compatability reason but it should be easy 
to deprecate them and make them aliases for the new consistent names.
