I was wondering about this too, or rather thinking that -XshowsSettings 
might likely be used in conjunction with other options like -showversion 
or VM specific options. For example, someone might do this:

java -XX+PrintCommandLineFlags -XshowSettings -showversion Foo

and the logs will capture the heap settings, the properties and locale 
info printed by showSettings, and the HotSpot and JDK version printed by 
-showversion. The only one that I'm sure is the default stack limit 
(when -Xss<size> or -XX:ThreadStackSize=<size> isn't specified) as I 
don't think we have a VM option to print that (except with 
+PrintFlagsFinal dump of course).
