I'm trying to use your lisp to generate isodoc letters.  I'm wondering
what tex processing commands you are using?

I don't have bbdb in place, so I changed that.  Otherwise, using your
code, I get a similar TeX result (attached) but a PDF result that
doesn't make much sense.  (attached).

Toying around with isodoc natively, I found that I could get things to
look somewhat better by translating the '[key=val]' region inside the
\begin{document} into a \setupdocument{} command _before_ the
\begin{document}.  From your earlier examples, it's clear that you were
getting it to work without that measure.

I saw that there were several notions of "How to turn an Org document
into tasty letter-flavored TeX-like source".... Has anyone else reached
a functional plateau they like?
