But old TeX conventions have little to do with Unicode. There is no 
Unicode-based TeX markup, all TeX markup is ASCII + perhaps some 8-bit 
characters.

I believe that Unicode characters in XeTeX should be treated "the 
Unicode way", including things like U+200D (zero-width joiner), U+200C 
(zero-width non-joiner), U+200F (RTL mark), all the U+20xx spaces and 
dashes.
