Are there any legal values for 'escape' other than 'html' and false?

Also, are there any other query parameters I don't know about?  Here are 
the ones I know of:

query:  the query itself
escape: we've just discussed this
cursor: for breaking a results into chunks
as_of_time: for historical queries

Anything else I need to document?
