Quite recently I used XeTeX to typeset a document originally written  
for standard LaTeX and only using CM fonts, because XeTeX was the  
only engine allowing (on Mac OS X) the inclusion of PICT and TIFF  
files without prior conversion of these files to other formats.

But then, of course, why would one use fontspec in these cases? I  
don't know. Perhaps it's safer not to make any assumption about the  
user setup, and set the default package options such that the package  
runs in a "standard" OS X TeX setup (with only the addition of XeTeX  
differing from that setup). But then, of course, is there such a  
standard?
