What if you extended this to cover PHP in general - you could make your PHP always generate XML data and then with add_output_filter(proprietary string or callback function) you could make PHP transform the output at the end of the script execution (possibly multiple times). I know a lot of developers which are interested in a script -> xml -> xml -> xml -> xhtml pipeline, and something like add_output_filter() might be a godsend :)
Yeah, I know it can be done in userland (somewhat)...
