I really do not understand why is it a problem to have more than one
mapping file? I think this feature was introduced to allow flexibility.
Otherwise, these "ligatures" would have been hard-wired into XeTeX
iyself. I agree that it is ugly to use -- --- etc., but these "ligatures"
are documented in every book, user manual, etc. on TeX, while the others
are sort of recent developments. But if you do insist in this, then please consider 
including (( and )) to expand to « and », respectively, since many Greek TeX users 
use these "ligatures"...

A.S.
