before digging deeper into pangomm I would like to know if following can be
done. Can I extend the <span/> element with an id attribute i.e.:
"<span foreground="blue" size="x-large" id="x:y">Blue text</span> is
<i>cool</i>!"

or can I do:

"<id n="x:y"><span foreground="blue" size="x-large">Blue text</span> is
<i>cool</i></id>!"

or in other words how can I get "Blue text" from a string i.e. "The Blue
text on the Blue text background is invisible" with regard to different
encodings.

Thanks in advance
