Hi Alan,
Ahh, thanks. I didn't try that. It would be useful, however, to have a man page, since that's the normal way such information is found, I think.
Usually you resort to a man page when the --help readout doesn't actually tell you anything (like only listing the possible flags without an explanation of what they do).
But if --help is insufficient, xetex can be texdoc-ed with "texdoc xetex". Rather than a man page, it relies on the texdoc parser to autogenerate its documentation on request (although on my MiKTeX 2.8 system that gives me an html file that basically contains only the same information as --help, others on a presumably slightly modern install report it generating the same docs as found on http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/xetexref)
