I will try the solution I have implemented in xgreek and I will let you know later on today.

Hello Apostolos
 
Ah, I hadn't realized that these could be 
used in plain XeTeX. Can they?  How does one switch them on and off?  
I would like to do something simple such as \greek...... \english..... 
\latin.....  and so on, but haven't had success with the Greek (the Latin 
works well, albeit with a few curious mistakes such as 
'quibu-sdam').
