Is there any sort of documentation on exactly what parameters you can put in the url of Google viewer?

Originally, I thought it was just url,embedded,chrome, but I've recently come accross other funny ones like a,pagenumber, and a few others for authentication etc.

Any clues?

One I know is "chrome"

If you've got https://docs.google.com/viewer?........;chrome=true

then you see a fairly heavy UI version of that doc, however with "chrome=false" you get a compact version.

But indeed, I'd like a complete list myself!
