These are tile coordinates. An easy way to find out tile coordinates is 
to go to map.geofabrik.de and activate the tile coordinates layer from 
the layer switcher in the top right corner of the map.

You can also read the tile coordinates off a standard OSM map if you 
right click on a tile and do "copy image location", then paste the image 
location into a text editor - it will end in z/x/y.png.

Note that you can only render one zoom level at a time when using -x/-X 
and -y/-Y, and the tile coordinates are different (factor 2) for each 
zoom level.

Bye
Frederik
