Yes but the point is that, if I understand the processes involved
correctly, the export and babel routes each generate different latex
code.  Babel does *not* look at the document wide settings whereas
export does.  This is why Eric is suggesting you export the babel code
so that it is interpreted by the latex document that results from
exporting the whole org document.  Otherwise, make sure the settings
you want are within the latex source code block?
