Interesting.  I wonder if this could be be treated
as part of the style, not as part of the content? So, "I want 12-point
Times Roman, bold, with alternative glyph 27", but the content.xml
knows nothing about the alternative glyph.  That is a way we could
do this in a way which does not break compatibility with older processors.
