Identifying a subset of observations on a 3d-scatter plot using cloud()

Hello everyone,
This is my first post to the mailing list, so I hope I am posting my message the correct way.
I am trying to present my dataset in a 3d scatterplot using cloud() in the {lattice} package. I hope to explicitly identify a subset of my observations. The observations in this subset need to satisfy the following critera (values on x,y, and z axes above a certain cutoff value). It will be great if I can get advice on how to annotate the points representing the subset of observations with a different colour, and if possible, label the points.
For colors, you could try
cloud(z ~ x * y, ..., groups = (x > c1 & y > c2 & z > c3))
For interactive labeling, see ?panel.identify.cloud. Direct labeling
is also possible, but you need to write a panel function
('panel.3dtext' in the latticeExtra pacakge may help).
