Also, is dev-context the right place for a discussion like this?

Anyhow, I can add this to syst-etx:
Thus ends the tutorial at the feet of the master. Yeah, that works fine with XeTeX as well, but know that XeTeX's behaviour isn't exactly the same as eTeX... [see attached] This is because XeTeX also respects the inherent direction of the script (from Unicode/the font itself), so insertion of a word of arabic, for example, is correctly set right-to-left, even in a paragraph of LtoR roman. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
