Hi, Arpad;

I don't think the parameter definition section pointed to by TreeNodeName at 
the end of the .ibs file is necessary in BIRD117 (page 6).

By defining the parameter at the end of the ibis file you are not importing it 
from an external file. Then why do we still need to indirectly specify the 
value by using TreeRootName instead of directly assigning the value to the 
parameter? The only argument I heard is that the TreeRootName way allows 
multiple values to be specified for a parameter. But I think it's a hack for 
TreeRootName. I'd rather introduce a formal List syntax to address this issue.

Regards,
Fangyi
