Unless XeTeX has changed since I last used it, traditional TeX
ligatures ARE still there.if you load the fonts properly. I always
used tradition TeX punctuation pseudo-ligatures when I used XeTeX
because, unlike accents which are easy to type and not used very
frequently, dashes and quotation marks and frequently used and hard to
type. Thus shortcuts are welcome.
