Agreed, I realise now it's a model editor issue. The user can decide the
status of parameters and thereby determine whether they want parameters
to be altered or not. It seems to be a non-issue.

Hi Herbert,
Can you explain why you would want to refer to a local parameter in
an event trigger? It seems like if a trigger depended on a parameter
then that parameter should be global.
Regarding rules/event assignments... In Section 4.7.5 of the SBML
Lvl 2 "Structures and Facilities for Model Definitions", it says
"Parameters local to a reaction cannot be changed by rules and therefore
are implicitly always constant..." While it doesn't explicitly mention
event assignments it says that all local parameters are constant, so it
seems that changing them with event assignments would be disallowed.
