One of the ideas that I believe Sven raised on irc, was that there
should be a minimal and trivial interface to the PDB that is not
based on any particular language but just consists of:
gimp_foo -bar 3 -baz yellow
Having such an interface to the PDB has several advantages:
1. It would take care of the quoting problems from the shell.
E.g.
gimp -nodisplay -cmd "my_logo -text foo -bg_color yellow" \
-cmd "save_image -img 1 -filename foo.png"
2. We could easily do recording and save into this format.
3. The format could easily be translated into script-fu,
python, guile, etc.
Possibly I misunderstood Sven though, in which I take all the blame. ;-)

Dov
