After this remark I checked my changes and compared them with the
default code and behaviour of ox-koma-letter with the result that I
reverted all of my deletions. The mentioned feature provides just the right
hierarchy for my use case.
- LCO overrides everything
- options in the file override options in customization
- options in customization override defaults in ox-koma-letter
Nevertheless I agree that the "nil check" solution would allow more
flexibility.

IMO one *good* solution for writing letters is enough. scrlttr2 is
perfect for me and covers at least European conventions about how
letters should look like. I don't know which LaTeX classes people from
other parts of the globe prefer.
At least we should try to make the user interface (the list of
variables) universal enough to cover other classes as well.

Good plan. I will provide you with the last version of my modification
by PM and write a How To.
