Of course. The "declarations" I was referring to are
sboTerm references, not the names. Parameter would look
like the following example:

<listOfParameters>
<parameter id="k" sboTerm="http://biomodels.net/SBO/#SBO:3333333"/>
</listOfParameters>

where the value of sboTerm is an identifier standing for
(e.g.) "rate constant for first-order mass action" in the
controlled vocabulary.
