There is no such program. The XML is processed directly by XeTeX (see
http://www.eutypon.gr/eutypon/pdf/e2013-31/e31-a02.pdf).

Neither LaTeX nor Tuebner are being used.

I am not using LGR encoding; I am using Palatino Linotype "out of the
box" (i.e., as installed in my Windows fonts directory with no adjunct
files to re-map anything).

Palatino Linotype is supplied in Truetype format : if I were to play
with the \lccodes for round and angle brackets, would I also have to
re-generate the patterns ?
