I haven't followed this thread.  Just happened
to see that comment.

Frame parameters are already, in effect,
frame-local "variables".  Just as symbol
properties are symbol-local "variables".
And text properties are char-local "variables".
And overlay properties are buffer position-local
"variables".

Nothing new about this.  At least that's how
I've always looked at it.

But perhaps you are doing something slightly
different/new, or there wouldn't be any reason
to say "could serve" - frame parameters do
serve as a kind of frame-local variables.  (We
just don't call them "variables".)
