Whether I use a GRUB2 configuration to boot from the XFCE LiveCD iso
I don't know if anyone ever tweaked fedora live cds to have
the required support to boot via grub. I know at one time I
read they wouldn't work that way. I do have several livecd
images setup to boot from disk, but none of them are fedora.

Here's one that happens to be laying around:

menuentry "Boot Ubuntu 13.04 live cd" {
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod ext2
    set root='hd1,gpt1'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 83693456-a3ef-4b35-a4bb-e0671367e40e
    set isofile="/booty/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso"
    loopback loop ($root)$isofile
    linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject
    initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

(I have no idea if it still works, there may be parts missing
after all the time since I last booted it :-).

ALL Current livecds boot with grub support.  Do you perhaps mean boot from hdd (without grub or  from grub to the hdd directly ?

 If you wish to burn a boot-able Livecd to the disk directly you can either dd the ISO OR use livecd-iso-disk (from the livecd-tools package) like so:

dd option:

hdd=/dev/sdb 

sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Downloads/FedoraISO.iso of=/dev/sdb && sync
