<!--

    for each iteration of the foreach loop, $detail is an anonymous object (ie javascript style object literal) 
    with two params: ->name and ->val. Name is a human-readable form of the param's name, and val is the value 
    as set in the backend. If the param is not defined on the current product, val is the empty string. 
    I do the check within the foreach to make sur eI'm not printing names for undefined parameters
