I always turn off die_on_bad_param too, since it "breaks" the  
separation between code and template that I want to achieve.  What if  
the design of the page changes in such a way that a parameter is no  
longer needed?  The designer shouldn't have to ask the programmer to  
remove a parameter just to keep the program working.

I always figure that the program should be able to throw any  
parameter at the template that it wants, and the designer can choose  
what should be displayed.

Oh well, TMTOWTDI, as always....
