I generally agree.  This kind of thing can be carried too far, though.  I
recently needed to convert a document from LaTeX to Microsoft Word format.
When I loaded the same resultant Word document on four different
computers, no two of them thought it had the same number of pages (with a
length difference of 15 pages between longest and shortest, on a roughly
400-page document), and on one, the whole thing came up in bold italics
for no clear reason.  I hope that XeTeX will always enforce better
stability than that.
