It's simple: improve XeTeX's code! Add some functions and modules to  
it to find these settings and apply them when building words or making  
– and marking! – exceptions, find a place in TDS for these kerning  
files to stay...

Are you sure you can't achieve flawlessly with LuaTeX what comes out  
not perfect from XeTeX? LuaTeX as well works with fonts and their  
tables features directly, it also uses fontspec. I couldn't yet work  
with LuaTeX because some utilities died when they tried to build one  
more cache of font data available, but it should be able to work with  
Unicode, UTF-8, or such, encoded text... And when something is missing  
in LuaTeX you just write your own procedure in Lua.
