Aloha all,

Forewarned is forearmed: perhaps it would be useful to add a footnote  
to the org manual at 12.6 after "With further processing,[fn:X]"

[fn:X] The default LaTeX output is designed for processing with pdftex  
or latex.  It includes packages that are not compatible with xetex and  
possibly luatex.  See the variables =org-export-latex-default-packages- 
alist= and =org-export-latex-packages-alist=.

All the best,
Tom
