This sounds useful, and I haven't seen much of it around.

This sounds useful, but I've seen a lot of stuff like this out there.

I'm sure there is an audience for that somewhere.  I'm not it though.

Again, useful, but I've seen this topic covered.

I've seen this around many times, but its one of those topics that keep 
advancing and are always pertinent

Honestly, if that were a book or a magazine article, I would buy it in 
a second.
But I think this would come across much better in print than in a 
conference setting.

That would be a good topic as well.

1. How is mod_perl compared to PHP/JSP ? And how for certain type of
applications - where people would choose between PHP and JSP - or

I think that would be great for some sort of evangelical presentation.
To go a step further, it would be nice to  see that along with several 
approaches to the same application.
As a bad example, take a form submission & validation -- show it in 
php, jsp, and different approaches via  mod_perl (ie, a 
templatetoolkit/mason approach, maybe a strong mvc approach, and 
something else).
I know from experience that doing something in mod_perl is most 
difficult not in execution, but planning the approach.
