I can see that parameters can be defined for Commands defined using the Commands extension point. I can not define a value for these command parameters.

I can also define parameters under the Command element in the menus extension point when defining menu contributions. I can define a value for the parameter here.

Are the command parameters in Command different from parameters in menu contributions? If they are different how are they different?
