Rejecting invalid parameter name is easier and quick enough for a
feedback. However more extensive value data validation can be
delegated to later levels than rpc.

Even if speed is not a consideration, abstracting out the api for
validation of parameter values, is essential. Its very essential that
the validation/checks are not embedded in the rpc.
