Excellent. Your welcome.

It's better to avoid adding new dependencies. It makes it harder to
maintain GCompris on the different platform we support. By different
platform, I include the different GNU/Linux distributions.

I also believe it's best to code it in C with libxml as it's done with
the rest of GCompris.

But instead of coding it in wordsgame config, it should by coded in the
core of GCompris as a new feature set available to all activities.

You got the issue. If you code it in the core then it will be available
to both activities.
