As Buddhika mentioned, there is no PHP code generated. We rather 
generate sig model, then use that for data binding. So much of the code 
could be re-used for Ruby, if written in C.
And yes, it is basically XMLT processing to generate the sig model and 
then some DOM processing to process the sing and WSDL.
