Well, I'm not satisfied with the attribute handling (expecially its
ordering) in the text module since it uses magic numbers. I'm still
not sure what to do regarding this subject. For the moment, a magic
sorting is the best we can do, but we should try to think hard for a
generic solution for the future.
