Hi Jim... What languages do your changes bring to XBMC? You said PHP but maybe also CSS/(x)HTML? Or Perl? Or does it depend on available bindings?

Thnx. I found it:
http://swig.org/compat.html#SupportedLanguages
And the reason I was asking about css/(x)HTML is that I thought it might be used to make incredible skins. Why not replace those XBMC-only XML-files to a industry standard markup language?

XML is about as standard as it gets...
I don't think Montellese is trying to give you a hard time; just pointing out that HTML and/or CSS aren't programming languages.
All they do is tell a web browser (or other client) how to display text/images.
Add-ons require a real programming language, either compiled (such as C++, Java) or scripting (Perl, Python, PHP, etc.)
