Depending on what features are added, exactly, I'd imagine a lighter-weight markup language would be more than sufficient. Something where you can describe the syntax in less than a page and write a correct implementation in half an hour or less would probably be good enough. Like maybe just newline-delimited key=value pairs, or something like JSON at worst.
I don't see any point to inventing yet another markup language for internal data transfer; I'd much rather use something that:
1) is a known, implemented standard 2) has standard support in PHP 3) has standard support in JavaScript
If you feel the need to describe the syntax, you've already lost time and gained nothing. :)
