As a result of unconditionally using `babel`, this package inherits said usability issues.\r\n\r\nI have crudely fixed this in my local copy (just by changing `\\usepackage[american]{babel}` to `\\usepackage{polyglossia}`, but I'm not good enough at TeX to know how to build a general solution that retains supports for LaTeX while adding support for XeLaTeX.  In any case, such a solution would be greatly appreciated.  :smile: "}}
