I agree, Frank. The key seems to lie in finding a way to essentially create the OSA (Open Scripting Architecture) as a Rev framework, no small task to be sure but one that perhaps the famous MonsieurX is up to?

Yes, but only under Mac OS X (maybe Classic).

Extending Rev to support this would allow this to be used cross-platform, as most of these scripting languages are available cross-platform.

Rev allows AppleScript via the "do ... as AppleScript" command. Perhaps this could be extended to support things like

I'm holding out for "do...whatIWantNotWhatISaid". ;-) Seriously, the "do as applescript" capability is based on Apple's Script Language Interface, which means if someone wrote a module for Python, etc. then those languages would automatically become available from within Rev. (I think there's a module floating around that implements Javascript, and one or two others besides AppleScript.)
