Not to badmouth the IEEE, which is a fine professional society, but my experience with mainstream journals in general is that their staffs are generally not very receptive to XeTeX and other new-fangled tools.  One could get away with using XeTeX with IEEE or other *conference* papers where only a final properly formatted PDF is required for the proceedings, but anytime a source file has to be supplied, using its features will only slow down the production process and delay the appearance of your paper.

Nevertheless, keeping up promoting XeTeX at IEEE Transactions might in
the long term turn out to be fruitful.
