I'm not sure I agree with Drew's suggestion, and therefore with your
suggested changes. From the context, it seems to me that the intent
is to let the readers understand what the frame parameters are in
general, not to let them read on the specific frame parameter being
discussed (the text there doesn't say anything new for the reader).

I think it's better as it is now, yes.
