Seems good. How about the following formats?

  replication     user  CIDR-address  auth-method  [auth-options]
  replicationssl  user  CIDR-address  auth-method  [auth-options]
  replication     user  IP-address  IP-mask  auth-method  [auth-options]
  replicationssl  user  IP-address  IP-mask  auth-method  [auth-options]

Note that "database" field has been removed since it's useless
for replication.
