OK. BTW: We could do without the new keyword AsBabelOptions <true|false> if we *always* call babel with the language options and *additionally* append them to the document options if the "add to documentoptions" box is checked. This would be in line with the polyglossia call, where the languages must always be specified with the \setdefaultlanguage and \setotherlanguage macros but other packages might expect the babel name in the documentoptions.
