"I think this example doesn't take advantage of the AUTO facility, which
   is what the section is about."

I agree it does not take advantage of the AUTO facility here, but I nevertheless think it would
be interesting to show people how to do this. Until we expand the AUTO facility to cope with
all quirks of multi-language in pdflatex (lualatex and xetex are a different pair of shoes), a quick
and dirty alternative may be helpful for people. The introductory text could be
 
+An alternative approach using ~pdflatex~ and ~babel~ and mixing Latin and
+Greek fonts in the document using the =\PassOptionsToPackage= command
+from =babel= and avoiding the AUTO keyword would be:

instead of:

+Another example using ~pdflatex~ and ~babel~ and mixing Latin and
+Greek fonts in the document using the =\PassOptionsToPackage= command
+from =babel= would be:

Having this example at hand can solve issues until we fully agree on and implement
AUTO through all the packages involved in multi-language documents in LaTeX.

@Juan: Thanks again for kicking me awake. I'm moving on most of my projects to 
lualatex ;-)

When you do, we can continue moving the proposed patch forward.
