[XeTeX] Copy and paste of oldstyle numbers of the latin modern font

Hi,

If I paste the text and chose another font with OSF (like Warnock Pro)  
then the numbers do display correctly. I'm guessing you want to be  
able to copy the numbers directly without the style info; this would  
need something like pdfTeX's cmap package, which inserts /ToUnicode  
markers into the PDF stream.

I don't know anything that does this for XeTeX (but I don't know a  
thing about xdvipdfmx). Jonathan has mentioned before that he doesn't  
really "believe" in being able to robustly copy material from PDF  
output -- but this seems like a particularly inconvenient case.

Will
