as stated earlier, if used under latex the specified page size is
known and set in the latex allocated registers
\paperheight/paperwidth, but if used under plain these are not set and
that section of xetex.def is skipped (really if you insist on using
plain you should be prepared to look at the fairly simple tests in
xetex.def) in the eplain/\beginpackages use enough of latex internals
are emulated to send xetex.def down the latex code path.
