Does anyone have experience with the Xen that's built in to RHEL5?
Does it have most of the feature set of the open source version xen 3.04
or is it an older version?  Has it proved to be stable?

It is based on Xen 3.0.3 & for the set of features claimed to work in 3.0.3
it is very stable :-)

Also, has anyone tried, under either of those modes,
to have an x86_64 host OS and i686-based virtual clients?

RHEL-5 does not support  32-on-64.

Are there any docs online of how to do that?

You'll require Xen 3.0.5 to do 32-on-64. Other than that, the process for
booting a 32-bit guest is same as for a 64-bit guest.
Ahh. If *that's* the limit, which I don't think it is, one may be able to use the xensource 3.1.0 kernel and update libvirt as necessary.
