The whole syntax highlighting thing is going to be overhauled, so in my opinion, it will be a bit a waste of time... The SH files will all have to be re-written or updated soon, so I don't see the need to do it twice or more, but if you've got lots of time on your hands, go for it ;)
Also, FWIW, it's very hard to standardize the names. For example the Ruby SH mentions many 'classes' that are not applicable in PHP whatsoever, and vice-versa.
I *think* Allan is moving towards "official" language definitions (maintained centrally), and then a syntax *styling* interface which will essentially provide the power to edit the colours and font styles of the elements define in the language definition.
My advice is "sit tight, and wait for the good things to come", but of course, I am just one man :)
