Thanks for your prompt response. I am unable to locate a recent and relevant 
thread started by Alex Hamann. 

Vafa's suggestion of loading xkeyval before polyglossia reduces the number of 
errors drastically but brings up new ones related to exaccent, which I load 
after xkeyval and polyglossia.

My apologies if I am missing the obvious. I am wondering what could have 
changed in the past week or so.

Thanks and best wishes,
Arash
