I think that is enough for basic text import. Btw it is also used by the 
abiword stuff. If you can get each character's bounding rect you can use some 
heuristics to form words and form the words into lines and so on... But as 
far as I understood we are talking about more then text import here.

No one ignores you and if you read the thread you would know that I already 
pointed to the abiword stuff. I have to talk to the man doing that abiword 
stuff what kind of xml output that is. But what I understood from the code it 
is .abw oriented.
