Contained in:
The Parameter element represents a method parameter used as part of a MethodSignature in MethodDef, ConditionDef, or RangeCheck. A Parameter identifies values passed to a Method that may be processed by a FormalExpression. To maintain the relative simplicity of MethodDef implementations, default values and optional parameters are not explicitly supported.
