My understanding is that the parameters line is just ignored for special
blocks.

I wrote and used a patch a while ago to fix this; it was on my todo list
to clean it up and submit it to org. Now looks like a good time.

My patch adds a `:parameters-line' property to org elements that are
special blocks, storing the PARAMETERS line as a string. See attached
patch.

Could this be added to org ?
