you could use both at the same time, but xetex uses mkii and luatex uses
mkiv
in principle mkii is frozen so new features and improvements will only
happen in mkiv
concerning bidi: luatex does this natively (based on omega/aleph code)
while xetex does it the etex way which has some limitations
(since mkiv/luatex is tested extensively in the oriental tex project it
probably makes more sense to use mkiv)
