I think a way for formats to publish both a description of themselves and the set of parameters they take would be very helpful: it could be that the easiest way to do it is just to expand the information that $smwgResultFormats holds, although maybe the better solution is, as you suggest, to add methods like getDescription() and getAllowedParams() to the SMWResultPrinter class, and allow any format class to override these methods.
