That's sounds like a possibility.
Would it suit a PHP programmer?
surely it will, esp. because most PHP programmers write for the internet
and this usually requires ecmascript/javascript skills: it is familiar
already. Same is true for Ruby and to a lesser extent, Perl and Python
programmers. In general, I think it is rather wise to focus on a
languages that is already widely used and adopted as extension language
in many projects (and it probably helps that both Xalan and MSXML/XSLT
allow for Javascript extensions to be written, which makes porting them
to XSLT 2.0 easier (which in turn gives quite an advantage to Gestalt in
general for people porting there legacy XSLT 1.0 to 2.0).
