Given the number of times I've asked you questions about this, I'm now
fairly confident at being able to do what I need to; I've even started
using xsl.fo cover pages … and saving different sets of conversion
parameters for easy re-use.
I was wondering, though, if there's a mechanism for associating a saved
set of parameters with a .ditamap file permanently/as default. I don't
mind selecting/loading a specific set before converting a particular
map, but it's the sort of extra step I'm quite capable of forgetting ;-}
No, there is no way to associate a set of parameters with a specific
.ditamap file.
It's only possible to customize the XSLT stylesheets used to convert all
DITA maps to output formats such as PDF, WebHelp, DOCX, etc.
Of course, an XSLT stylesheet customization may contain custom parameters.
Such simple XSLT stylesheet customizations can be easily created using
the "XMLmind XSL Customizer" companion application. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xslcustom.Customizer.html
Open any of your DITA maps and use menu item:
"Options|Customize Configuration|Customize Document Conversion Stylesheets"
to create several XSLT stylesheet customizations, each having a
different and meaningful name.
See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/customizeConfigurationMenu.html
Once these XSLT stylesheet customizations have been created, use
"Options|Customize Configuration|Customize Document Conversion
Stylesheets" to switch from one of your XSLT stylesheet customizations
to another when needed to.
See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/ConversionStylesheetsEditor_reference.html
Last selected XSLT stylesheet customization is the one which will be
used by default for all the DITA maps.

PS: In production, most of our customers use the xxetool command-line
tool to do this, not the XXE GUI.
The different sets of parameters are simply specified in the different
.bat/.sh scripts invoking "xxetool convert".
