It's a shame that Polyglossia is so much different from babel.... For
babel we translate en-gb to "british" which is a valid babel language.
But your example shows that org-latex-babel-language-alist does not work
for polyglossia. Which means that somebody has to come up with a mapping
from language codes (en-gb) to (language . variant) pairs (your example).
Also, some mechanism needs to be in place to convey random options like
spelling={new, old} for German... Unless polyglossia options can be set
afterwards via latex_headers.

The only limitation here is whether somebody wants to contribute
org-latex-polyglossia-language-alist (≡ go through the manual and map all
pairs). Conveying language-specific options in Org is what I worry about.
