At first sight, I had no particular opinion about whether it's better to load
or not Babel by default.

After thinking about it, I think you're right NOT loading it by default. Babel
plays with cat codes for `:' among others, and can conflict with isodate IIRC.
Hence, better let the user decide to really include it or not.
