Xamarin attributed strings

I'm an iOS developer in the process of migrating to Xamarin. One thing that comes to mind immediately is that I would love to have a cross-platform way of doing attributed strings. Ideally, I would set the attributes once, in core code, then have a single "draw" command that went out to the appropriate platform-specific code to draw the attributed string.

Does such a thing exist?

EDIT: even the existence of a C# class that serves a purpose similar to NSAttributedString would be interesting information to me.

On Xamarin.iOS you can use the NSAttributedString just like you would while coding in obj-C.

But if I get your question right, you're mostly asking wether an abstraction for it exists so you could reuse the same attributed string on Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android and even WP. Such a thing does not exists at the time (to my limited knowledge), but creating one does not look like rocket science.
