Both are good suggestions (please add them to JIRA). The reason behind why there hasn't been much development or evolution around Parameter Maps is twofold:
1) They're a lot simpler than result maps, and require less configuration. 2) Very few people use the <parameterMap> element. You can do everything with inline parameters now (#prop,attr1=val1,att2=val2# etc.). I'm dreaming of a day when both the <parameterMap> and <resultMap> elements disappear!
