Looks good. :)

As a minor refinement, you could use assoc-get instead of assoc.

Hmm, this isn't as elegant as make-text-span itself; you can't use markup.

It's a bit academic now, but concerning your problem with passing the
text variable in the original example, you need to use a backquote for
the bound-details, together with a comma before txt; this ensures that
the value of txt is substituted in the list, rather than returning the
symbol.

(acons 'bound-details `((left . ((text . ,txt))))

You can see the same syntax in define-grobs.scm for grob callbacks.
