The quotes do 'not' mean anything special. :)

Despite the '+'s, I'm not actually adding these parameters, I'm
duplicating the pdata version and removing the stuff I 'know' that's
not required. I don't know what happens when/if these two parameters
are removed. I can add this to my TODO when I rip out platform data
support, which will happen when this stuff lands.
