[XeTeX] OT script and language features not working

[David J. Perry]

Thank you, Arthur!  Everything works now.  Last night I was banging my 
head up against this and I knew I was making it harder than it was.  I 
really appreciate the flexibility that XeTeX offers in defining new 
languages and in providing access to all OT features contained in a 
font.  It's a tremendous help to those of us who work to support 
scholars of historic scripts/languages, for which implementation is slow 
in coming (if it ever does) in commonly used word processors and 
publishing programs.
