I think the "auto-merging" of configure time and runtime args into ParamArgs would rock.
IE, if we find we are constantly using the same filter definition (ie, same params), then we should be able to redefine the filter with a different name in the event-filters section of the XML, together with it's params then use that filter in events, overriding params as needed. To achieve this at the moment we need to modify the filter's CFC's to merge the Runtime params into the configTime params.
