For maximum compatibility with standard LaTeX input, I would  
recommend adding to your preamble, before \setromanfont{Times} and  
after \usepackage{fontspec}:

\usepackage{xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}

The first line will coerce control sequences such as \textbullet to  
refer to the corresponding Unicode slots, and the second line will  
perform the same for ligatures such as --.

This doesn't, of course, solve the issue about the spurious text  
"(0).fd (0).fd" in the PDF output. This looks like a fontspec bug.
