Ok. My concern is that people may be confused when we present more
manual setup before what we actually recommend, but I will not insist.

You mean AUTO? Maybe, but it is not something people asked for in the
past. I see no reason to bother unless someone asks for such a feature.

Well. I am not 100% sure what you wanted there, which is why I had no

When we talk about LANGUAGE setting, we only refer to Org abbreviation
vs. language name (human-readable name). Language name in LaTeX is a
slightly different beast.

Maybe. But I also felt that the paragraph talking about it was
misplaced. So, came up with a footnote. Maybe put inside parenthesis? Or
some other way.

I think a removed those other parts. But please check how things read.
