Hi Philip,
No, it is not XeTeX specific.
Like I have mentioned, I am not a TeXchian.
I have never been able to grok the low level TeX way of doing things.
I could probably do now, but there are others more apt to the task
than I.
I have mention I would first put a NLP-layer in TeX et al. before the
typesetting
starts to kick end. In other words, handle the language and encodings
first and then
typeset. But, that is not how (Xe)TeX is designed.
regards
Keith.
