through the stem, extensively - although as folks have noted, nobody
really knows what they mean.

How would placing them on the stem make them substantially different from other ornaments?

You may like to look at Denemo's output, as it has a claveciniste menu
for French ornaments - it also generates coulés which, again, do not
have the normal attributes of ornaments, so you could get an idea of the
syntax needed for those too.

Again, the only difference to other ornaments is the placement, so I don’t quite understand what you mean. Surely (implementation aside) { a\coule } would be perfectly sensible syntax?
