I have a different understanding about its:toolsRef, which is: we don't
define any parameters. The example Jirka gave at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Nov/0050.html
i.e.
http://mymt.org/toolinfo?version=456&value=FR-to-EN-General
Jirka referred to the XQuery way of identified collations, see
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-compare
"deutsch" in the below is an arbitrary URI, *not* a set of parameters:
[
fn:compare('Strasse', 'Straße', 'deutsch') returns 0 if the collation
identified by the relative URI constructed from the string value "deutsch"
includes provisions that equate "ss" and the (German) character "ß"
("sharp-s"). (Otherwise, the returned value depends on the semantics of
that collation.)
]

And it is implementation defined how you interpret the URI.

Defining the parameters (version, value, ...) woudl mean that we do the
same as in the "toolInfo" element, but just don't serialize as XML, but as
URI parameters. The problem stays the same: no interop between
mymt.org/toolinfo?version=456&value=FR-to-EN-General
vs.
mymt.org/toolinfo?version=x6h3&value=fr-t-EN
