I can see an advantage here for the project as a whole - if we have e.g. Python checks, we could use them to to cross-test OVAL checks, that are less flexible and are more likely to be buggy.

I think that a rule sub-directory "python" or "shell", analogously to the current "oval" would provide a compatible way to supply the SCE content. Then, we would need the to extend the build system to pick it up and to deliver it to the datastream. And last but not least, we would need a mean how to disable it, as we probably want to be sure that we don't ship datastreams with SCE content to customers.

I don't see an easy way how to do it ATM, as the process of creating datastreams is quite complex. We in Red Hat don't plan to work on this in the foreseeable future. But I think that upstream would accept those contributions if the implementation was good enough.

The specific content I am creating is not able to be proposed upstream.  I was 
thinking though that the infrastructure to support it (the ability for SSG to 
support other SCE and/or raw XCCDF content) might be of interest upstream to 
provide future flexibility for content.

I brought up raw XCCDF since that would be another way to smuggle SCE content 
in without explicit support for SCE in the build scripts.
