Thanks, Thomas, 

I knew I had seen that example.  I just couldn't find it when searching.

Aloha Scot,

An example is here:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/examples/research-project.php

This approach is *definitely* not as much fun as the Org-mode LaTeX exporter, and the org files can be ugly, but it gives fine control over the LaTeX output and can produce notes and metadata in LaTeX, HTML, docbook, etc.

I use it for projects intended for publication, where I'm willing to invest some thought and energy into the setup.  

Let me know if you have questions.

All the best,
Tom

P.S. Yes, by all means, let me know when you've tamed the xetex configuration or edit the LaTeX export tutorial yourself to include what you've found.

Hmm, Tomas, this is interesting.  I have thought about using babel for this sort of thing, but assumed that the textual overhead would be too high to make it worth it (It'd be ugly, and not that fun to generate).  I don't suppose you'd be so kind as to past in an example that shows this kind of thing in action?  Even just an example text itself, with the structure and some blocks. (And of course, I do still owe you my examples of org+xetex).
