well, it's not supposed to do the same (and we're not going to be latex 
compatible anyway)

as we now need mpore 'tables' i've reorganized the xetex code (will also 
  do that with fonts) a bit

- there is now xetx-ini which implements a few helpers as well as a 
subsystem for dealing with these classes (example at the end of that file)

- a couple of classes are defined in xetx-cls and they have symbolic 
names (and can be grouped into namespaces analogue to other context 
mechanisms)

- lc etc codes are set in xetx-utf and symbolic names for characters are
set in xetx-chr

- as specific usage of those char classes is very dependent on 
interfacing as well, it is up to modules to implement associated 
behaviour and there will be no hard coded defaults in the core (at least 
not in the short term)

- as xetex is too slow on my machine (persistens caching of fonts 
problem) i cannot test too much

So, if more is needed we can provide more but we do it the context way -)

i uploaded a beta to the website so that mojca can test it in the minimals
