Re: XeTeX 1.0 - request for comments

I'm not completely sure if this comment suits the request as well but I 
remember while trying different things with Xelatex that I encountered a 
dissimilarity between output of Xelatex and plain Latex. This is if I 
try to get exactly the same output with both environments they are still 
different in many places, even though I used the default settings. For 
example I used Palatino and some usual text. The output was different in 
font shape, letter spaces and so on. Would it be useful to make Xelatex 
and Latex more congruent to each other so one could easily switch 
between the two environments? I think it is because sometimes I have to 
write something and somehow I need to use Xelatex-related features an 
then I have to change all the settings again to get the same look as 
before. Also I think the Xelatex output is good but not yet perfect 
compared to Latex (but still better than anything else :-) related to 
typesetting issues (i.e. see above). But this applies only to the latin 
font ssues. Arabic is really great and looks just perfect to me.

Thanks for all the work you'done so far!
Bernd.
