Yes, all parameters that are unknown to GeoServer are ignored at the request
parsing
level and are lost.
I'm also considering a case in which you are cascading multiple wms servers,
just blindly
sending down all the extra params seems problematic, the same vendor param
could
be have a different meaning for the two servers, or one of the might simply
throw an
exception (though the WMS spec says to ignore the params that are not
understood).
