Seconded.

This would be very good indeed.

The babel replacement (the "polyglossia" package) not only can, but
*does* interfere with babel. But, just like babel, it needs to be
loaded explicitely, so this will only show, if you do, e.g.
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguages{german,british,french}
in the LaTeX preamble (hopefully, a future LyX will do this
automatically for XeTeX export).
