Let me also point out that the documentation (?xy.plot from lattice) is
like some of those german bureaucreatic documents:
ylab Fine control possible, see entry for xlab.
xlab Fine control is possible, see entry for sub.
sub See entry for main for finer control options.
Deepayan might want to point to "main" from all of these ....
Best,
Uwe
BTW: Is it the correct way to submit bug reports on recommended packages
to the R's bug repository? Instead, I would have send it to Deepayan as
the maintainer of lattice (maybe a point that is not entirely clear from
the FAQs: distinguishing contributed, recommended and base package
related to bug reports).
