If you want python-like syntax, just embed POV in python. Or if you want Perl-like
syntax, embed in Perl. Personally, I think python is more manageable, although I'm
far more adept at perl.
If an independent syntax is to be maintained, it's best kept simple at the expense of
power.

I had that backwards.... it's "embed python in POV":

Lua is another option. I like it better than Perl or Python.

AngelScript is more tempting than lua, python or perl because it has much
closer resemblance to the language POV-Ray itself is written in. It should
also be as easy to embed as lua.

What's important, IMO, is that scene files be easy to parse using an external
editor. XML is a popular choice, and many parsers already exist; however, my
personal preference would be the use of simple and compact hash arrays.

A popular choice for what? Certainly not for an embedded scripting language.
(XML is *not* a scripting language at all.)
