Yes, you can use non-Arabic (including real Arabic) numerals. Many  
TeX macros use Roman numerals. You could use \coii... – or \coo? This  
is easiest to type.

You haven't read the documentation on the xltxtra and don't know the  
commands \textsuperscript/\textsubscript? This would be XeTeX related...

Your spaces problem can be solved by the xspace package.
