I think it would be very useful. It looks to me more like an extension 
to communicate via XMLRPC with SEMS - send command and display the result.

What is the XMLRPC you are using in SEMS? The C library used in Kamailio 
proved quite unstable, therefore SIREMIS uses MI UDP - simpler protocol 
and easy to troubleshoot. There should be XMLRPC PHP lib, therefore easy 
to extend SIREMIS.

Is it possible to get statistic information out of SEMS? Like number of 
active calls? Such data can be used to build charts, which is nice to 
monitor the service health and evolution.
