This is the same kind of issue as one of the earlier ones: the whole
point of XeTeX is that one simply types what one wants into a Unicode
editor (i.e., if you want an em-dash, you simply type an em-dash, and
there is no need any more for TeX conventions like ---, \"a, etc. etc.).
Even if there is a way to work around the problem using a (new) TeX
command, it may be easier to just open a Unicode-sensitive editor and do
find-and-replace, turning all the --- into em-dashes. That is totally
unambiguous and should not lead to any problems, I think.

Hi all (yes, it's me again!):
If I compile this file:
\documentclass{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\begin{document}
---
\end{document}
with XeLaTeX, then I get a PDF file which contains a single character,
namely an em-dash. But if I add, say, \setmainfont{Arial} before
\begin{document}, then what I get is ---. Why? Do I have to use
\textemdash instead?
