This is very weird. The two uses should be equivqlent. Where is this
documented?
Why is this weird? Every language package manual I know states to load babel this way, also the
VnTeX-package manual. Giving the babel options in the documentclass is equivalent for the other
languages we support, so loading them directly with babel when vietnamese is used, doesn't change
anything.
I don't know exactly why vietnamese is special here, I guess because the inputenc package must be
loaded with utf8 before the vietnam.ldf can be taken by babel. Because when you put vietnam only to
documentclass options, you get a babel error, that no language option is given.
