Not the easiest thing to implement, but OK. That makes sense for text
nodes, but is it the same answer for <text> and <tspan> elements?

A harder question: what about when we return quads from some arbitrary node
relative to a text node, <text> or <tspan> element that is being rendered
along a path? How is that supposed to work?
