All switches available in 0.3-beta have been documented by Wesley on the
corresponding man page:
http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/development/sources/batmand_0.3-beta-current_sources/man/batmand.8.html
and batmand_howto:
https://www.open-mesh.net/batman/doc/batmand_howto.pdf
The switches mentioned in the bmx manual are not available in 0.3-beta. That
is one of the differences between the two branches. The objective of the
0.3-beta branch is to always identify the best paramtrization automatically,
relieving the administrator from the task of identifying appropriate
parameters.
For the "hidden nodes" issues, the 0.3-beta implementation should
automatically hide the existence of all non-primary interface originators
beyond the local neighbor horizon and instead send host network
advertisements (HNAs).

No! The --bmx-defaults directive activates features from the
batmand-experimental branch which might or might not find its way into the
final batmand-0.3 release.
The --bmx-defaults directive is supposed to always enable the
latest "state-of-the-art" of the current batmand-exp implementation.
Therefore the functionality enabled by this switch will change with future
versions. Currently the --bmx-defaults switch implements the same parameters
as the --graz-2007 switch. And this switch is supposed to remain as it is
also in future versions.
