Greg Beaver (http://pear.php.net/user/cellog) has voted +1 on the proposal for

This vote is conditional. The condition is:
Great package
The only problem is that it will not be able to do cross-referencing the way phpDocumentor does it,
as it must also be possible to know the current code syntax to do this. Perhaps in the future, a
plugin system could be designed that allows an external parser/tokenizer to pass tokens into the
highlighter?
That's my only condition - if the highlighting callback took 2 arguments, the token, and what
text should be highlighted as if it were the token, then we would be in business.
For the initial release, this is not crucial, but I will absolutely need this feature to be able to
use this package in phpDocumentor for PHP code, and I do want to use it.
In its current state, it will be used for other things like javascript/html surrounding PHP code,
xml and tutorials, and so on.
