The authorId is just an attribute, as bold, italic and so on.
The problem is not to extract these information from the pad, but how to put in in the export format, e.g. the html-export.
I thought about the possibility of writing a generic xml export, which exports all attributes of the attribute pool and binds these attributes (and the values) to the corresponding text ranges. The output of such an xml export could than be transformed in anything else.
Using xml as an intermediate export result would allow to create one well-engineered export module and let other exporters just use the xml instead of working on the attributed text directly.
Just a suggestion.
I have written a LaTeX export modul from scratch some months ago. Refactoring this code to export xml instead of LaTeX is no big deal. I will have a look at this next year :)
Cheers and happy holidays!

we've had a few requests for it. One of our partners uses Etherpad in
a writing workshop and wants to use the authorship colors as a way to
mimic Word's track changes.
I suppose I could use some js to get the bgcolor CSS for the
author_ids and regex add it to the respective spans before pushing it
to ooffice.

to be a disconnect between plugins and the pad object.
Thanks,

never mind. I got it. Just had to pass pad object to the plugin that
was handling the inline styles. I must have messed something up when
I was passing it earlier.
