there is a difference here vetween xetex and luatex

first i need to understand the problem; actually i'm even thinking of
not defaulting (in luatex) the mapping other than -- and --- because
they are (1) not sensible and (2) users shoul duse quotation commands
and/or (3) use the proper utf codes

these i hate most, and personally never use them ... if i key in a char
explicitly i want that char and not another

actually there's even space + something becomes something else

i'd like to let caps and such go away completely for mkiv so maybe we
end up with xetex defs versus luatex defs; i wonder if in practice users
will use both at the same time (ok, you do)

we can fall back to dflt which in practice boils down to latn

well, i'd prefer ... only -- and --- and make anything else up to the
user, which means, redefining default in cont-sys if needed

two mappings?

in xetex you mean?

indeed, handling comma separated lists is too slow there .. ok, we can
do it for xetex and in luatex use lua for it ... or i could hash the
commalist itself ... needs a bit of thinking but eventually we need to
be able to combine features (this even more points into a separate
definition file for xetex)
