The Concealed auth draft defines new HTTP authentication parameters. Over in httpwg/http-extensions#2801 we realized that the syntax for how to define new parameters and how to refer to those parameters wasn't consistent. I went to check the style guide, and there was no guidance. I picked something consistent for that draft, but it would be good to provide guidance in the style guide, similar to the guidance we provide for header field names.

Note that "Parameter" is uppercase here, would be good to suggest whether upper- vs lower-case is preferred.
