Hi Thierry:

I don't understand why you think this.  I am counting on you to
implement <tspan> ;-)

For now it should be sufficient to create an appropriate
AttributedCharacterIterator for the <text> element as a 
whole.  The difficulty with x,y and dx,dy is with the
TextPainter.

In future we will use a GlyphVector for x,y, support,
for now we must rely on TextLayout's draw() and getOutline()
methods,  and ACI.
