OK, so if looks as if I am going to have to use \loop \if \repeat
in conjunction with \XeTeXcharclass ‹char slot› [=] ‹interchar class›
to set up the XeTeX char class for polytonic Greek, but looking
at Charmap for Palatino Linotype it would seem as if at least
two non-contiguous ranges will be
Here is my interim solution : better solutions welcomed !
\XeTeXinterchartokenstate = 1
\newXeTeXintercharclass \English
\newXeTeXintercharclass \Greek
\newXeTeXintercharclass \Hebrew
\newXeTeXintercharclass \Latin
\newcount \charclass
\charclass = 0380
\loop
\XeTeXcharclass
and/or are these ranges easily located from
the Unicode documentation ?
Yes, obviously. Ranges U+0370 to U+03FF, and U+1F00 to U+1FFF.
We'll pass on Hebrew for now :)
U+0590 to U+5FF.

Thank you again, Arthur. This will
