A better route is to use xetex's interchartoks. I always had the idea to 
rewrite fontwrap as a fontspec-using xetex package instead, and the 
"ucharclasses" package is still sitting in my homedir waiting to 
befinished >_>

I did an explanation on how to do this in an older thread titled "How to 
use intercharclasses (was "Issue with CJK in pdf    build")",
