Use hyperref (and read its documentation, possibly also read the  
oberdiek documentation, it could contain useful information). It also  
fills in /Title, /Author, /Subject, /Keywords in \hypersetup{}:

	\hypersetup{%
	     pdftitle=\title,
	    pdfauthor=\author,
	   pdfsubject=Subject,
	  pdfkeywords={so many, many key words},
	     urlcolor=DarkBlue,
	    linkcolor=NavyBlue,
	    verbose,
	    colorlinks
	}

(\title and \author are macros defined earlier in the source because  
of handling of UTF-8 characters in the PDF output)

Invoke xdvipdfmx with the option -V=3. Or, completely:

	xelatex -output-driver='xdvipdfmx -V=3' <LaTeX file>

XeLaTeX also offers these command line options:

	-src-specials           insert source specials into the XDV file
	-src-specials=WHERE     insert source specials in certain places of
	                          the XDV file. WHERE is a comma-separated  
value
	                          list: cr display hbox math par parend vbox

but I don't know how to use them and what they are good for.
