[Rwp] setting fx parameters for an fx in a split item.

[Scott Chesworth]

I haven't read that article, but the title sounds like it could be a
darrell Shandrow special. If that's who wrote it, suffice it to say I
agree accessibility shouldn't be classified as a feature, but we
differ massively on our opinions of almost everything beyond that
point, particularly when it comes to the tone of communication and
advocacy with the intent of improving poor accessibility.
