[XeTeX] Extraneous comma shows conflict between memoir and xecjk package?

Thanks, Qing Lee.

Adding your code to my preamble worked fine.

There are about one hundred footnotes most of which contain Chinese, and 
there are a couple pf dozen short strings of Chinese in the body text. 
For this I probably don't need xecjk. There is also a 13-page appendix 
that is completely in Chinese that benefits from the use of xecjk. And 
the next book will be a dual language edition where the use of xecjk 
will be required, I think.

Again, thank you for this solution and for your work on xecjk. Very helpful.

Jon
