I understand. But I would prefer to make the configuration approachable
to people familiar with latex and also to people unfamiliar.
While we do need to keep close resemblance to what is done on latex
level (by necessity and also to make life easy for latex-familiars), I'd
prefer to keep things as simple as possible for people unfamiliar with
latex.

polyglossia does not allow separate fonts for rm/sf/tt font families. In
contrast, babel _demands_ specifying each font family explicitly.
Is my understanding correct?
