The idea which we're trying to develop is that we allow for both changing elements within the JSDL document (as per current draft param sweep spec) and also, as you implied, try to define a means of sweeping over placeholders in input files.
Thinking about this, I'm wondering if a small focussed extension to splice values from the JSDL document into the input files would be sufficient. This could then be mixed with the parameter sweep proposal to achieve your desired overall effect. On the other hand, getting the splicing right is very difficult in general, but easy enough for specific cases (e.g. if you're only tackling binary splicing of integers or textual splicing of numbers) so it might be best to do something project-specific to start with.
