ACtually, this probably isn't a bad idea.  Perhaps Scene Object 
Language, or Scene Programming Language, to distinguish it from the 
current SDL.

In fact, if that's the case then the current parser could be kept for 
backwards compatability, activated by an appropriate #version directive 
(or whatever the equivalent would be in the new language) but remain 
static and disallowing access to features exclusive to the new language.
