The FAQ you quote says: includex enables you to '\includedoc' complete articles (in the way = that you '\include' chapter files in an ordinary report). It doesn't do the whole job for you, though. You need to analyse the package use of the individual papers, and ensure that a consistent set is loaded in the preamble of the main report. So evidently, it does not do the trick.

Really. So let us know how the planned LaTeX3 version = will look like.

The FAQ you quote says:
  includex enables you to '\includedoc' complete = articles (in the way that
you '\include' chapter files in an ordinary report). = It doesn't do the
whole job for you, though. You need to analyse the = package use of the
individual papers, and ensure that a consistent set = is loaded in the
preamble of the main report.

So evidently, it does not do the trick.

Have you decided to keep the preamble style for = LaTeX3, or is it not
possible to remove it?
