Unfortunately, PHP has got a lot of momentum. Look at the numbers here:

http://www.dedasys.com/articles/language_popularity.html

It has basically overtaken *all* the scripting languages, despite not
being a very powerful or innovative language. However, it's popular,
and that popularity breeds more popularity because of demand side
economies of scale.

IMO one thing that we should learn from them is that a less-than-stellar
language with a big, useful library is still very attractive to a large
chunk of people.

The only thing to watch out for with Rivet and XML is the <? ?> tags
that Rivet and XML both use. You want to escape those in Rivet somehow.
 Other than that, things ought to work.
