It's very difficult to distinguish between URL parameters which are part 
of TYPO3 and those which are invented by visitors.
On one hand everybody expects that the current parameters of a page 
which are necessary to build the content are preserved while switching 
languages. On the other hand you expect that no other parameters are 
included. How is sr_language_menu supposed to known which parameters are 
valid and which are added by a visitor?

sr_language_menu chose for the option to exclude specific parameters 
(there is a configuration setting for that) and include everything else.
Another approach would be to only include specific parameters. That 
would mean that if you install extension "XYZ" you would need to add a 
list of parameters used by that extension to the configuration of the 
language menu.
