I sort of tried to say that XeTeX's vertical measurements are very
conservative (based on Apple's text system: it just doesn't want to let
lines get too close!).
Anyway, here are some adjusted logos that seem to save 80% of my
headaches in XeTeX's vertical spacing:
\beginXETEX depth adjustment of logos
\let\NormalTeXLogo\TeX %save it---just in case!
\def\XeTeX{X\smash[d]{\lower.5ex\hbox{\kern-.15em\mirror{E}}}\kern-
.1667em\TeX}
\def\TeX{T\smash[d]{\kern-.1667em\lower.5ex\hbox{E}}\kern-.125emX}
\endXETEX
