It does, thanks a lot!

JFTR:

(add-to-list 'LaTeX-command-style
             '("\\`fontspec\\'" "xelatex %S%(PDFout)"))

No there isn't. there is only one 'xe' engine: xetex and only one
output: pdf. (There is a user-invisible intermediate output and xetex
converts this output to pdf at the end of the xetex run). Perhaps it
would make sense to add this to AUCTeX?
