In my mind, parameters have the semantic that a value is passed in from outside the containing construct (and a default is specified for when the value isn't passed), whereas variable values cannot be overridden from outside. I think it's useful to be able to make the distinction because it highlights to users which "variables" should be set when calling the construct and which are private within the construct and therefore shouldn't be meddled with.
