Comment (by nbachiyski):

 Today I played with a PHP API for an hour and here is the result:

 https://gist.github.com/1261486

 It doesn't have implementation details, although most of it should be
 obvious.

 The hard thing here is to find a balance for extending it via PHP and/or
 JS. This also depends on the JS library we use and its methods of
 extension. Even for a simple guided tour I wanted to deviate from the
 default behaviour in a dozen different ways (show notes on Next, different
 logic depending on whether the user completed the previous step, do not
 allow going to the next one if the current step isn't completed, grow
 beard at unexpected places, go to a different page before showing a
 pointer).

 I am more and more inclined towards a JS-only API with some PHP helpers. I
 will play with that one, too and report here.
