I would design the plugin mechanism to be language independent. By
defining either a simple API and/or a socket/stdin/stdout interface
plugins could be written in any language, the only requirement is
to meet the requirements of the interface.

I personally have written a couple of simple perl scripts that
process the XML and output a textual summary useful for filling in
the UK VAT report.
