What I propose for next version (instead of this stupid 'assume that babel is before/after preamble thing) is to have proper per language preambles in addition to the general preamble. These would be magically activated by babel at language switch and do the right thing. Does this sound like a plan for 1.3.0? In the meantime, I let you (all) decide what to do for now. JMarc
