I don't think it is advisable to try to make any correlation between
the cmdline markers and the names that we use internally for the
trees.

Sounds like the comment could/should be improved.

Yes.

No. If you have both a BASE node and a WORKING node, then

return NULL values.
If there is no WORKING node, then yes: the two will be equivalent for
those param values.
