There will also be functions for rendering layouts, lines, and runs
since the core Pango rendering functions won't do anything with any
extra attributes.

One question that needs answering is whether the differences are small
enough that the XSL attributes and the rendering functions can be
tacked on to the xmlroff tree such that there's really no need to
modify Pango at all.

The first thing to do is to stub out all the xmlroff functions for the
extra XSL attributes and just make an xmlroff that works with the
stock Pango attributes.

If that can be done, then we need to decide how to go about adding
support for the extra XSL attributes.
