I was just wondering whether it would be possible to add further functionality to org-latex-classes and would like to start a discussion ;-)

My use case is the following:

The document class is tightly coupled with  ~org-latex-subtitle-format~ and  ~org-latex-subtitle-separate~. Koma-script classes, for example, need those variables to be defined with file or directory local variables in order to take full profit of the layouts. If we found a way of accommodating them in the class definitions, the fuzz of the extra variables could easily be overcome.

Default would be the default values from ox-latex.el and both variables should be handled separately, IMHO.

Any ideas?

Best wishes for 2024, peace everywhere as a result of running a couple of leader-deposed hooks ;-)
