 The values of these options are appended to the values of

menu entries.


That's not what current manual says. Please use current upstream sources 
when you contact upstream.



 ‘GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_XEN_REPLACE’
 ‘GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_XEN_REPLACE_DEFAULT’

 The values of these options replace the values of
‘GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX’ and ‘GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT’ for Linux and Xen
menu entries.


I agree it is a bit fuzzy. If set, it is used for Linux kernel arguments 
in Xen menu entries. Care to send a patch clarifying it?



 ...

 From these docs. it's not clear which values get mapped to which grub
entries.  One set 'appends', one set 'replaces'.  Are they exclusive of
one another?

And, what specifically gets mapped to Xen kernel's "options=" parameter
line?

E.g., a grub2-mkconfig-generated xen*.cfg takes the form



Please direct this question to your distribution. For a start, there is 
no grub2-mkconfig upstream.

I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry. Again, you need to 
direct this question to your distribution.



there's NO "options=..." line.

The docs should clearly address which PARAMETERS map to the "options="
line, and which to the kernel=" line in the Xen case.

To get there -- What's intended, by designn, from development in these
specific *XEN* cases?
