This reminds me of something I've heard Douglas Crockford propose in the past: syntax highlighting would be more useful [in some languages] if it was used to color different scopes.

To that end, rainbow-delimiters for emacs is somewhat useful.
I already do this in Sublime Text, it's very useful when you may have PHP and HTML in the same file. It's also useful with the much less common HTML with CSS or JS.

I fear you're about to get a lot of comments about mixing PHP and HTML in the same file. And I don't think the OP was talking about that kind of 'scope'.
