The babel package is pretty much unusable (and effectively deprecated) when using Xe(La)TeX; the polyglossia package is the designated replacement there. As a result of unconditionally using babel, this package inherits said usability issues.
I 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:
