There's the rub. Non-Latin scripts are a big part of the constituency of
XeTeX. I routinely have to manually activate Korean-specific OpenType
features that are specified to be default but that XeTeX/fontspec doesn't
activate by default, just to get acceptable output in Korean at all. I'm
just lucky there's an interface for doing that - more GUI-ish software
without a raw feature interface would make it impossible.
