Another alternative, however, would be, simply, to place 805x IP in an FPGA

Why on earth not?!

It'll probably cost a bit more than a standard part, but if no standard part meets the requirements it may well be a viable option. Especially if you have specialist and/or extensive IO requirements.

Once you have the FPGA, things that you'd normally do in software become a lot easier to do in "hardware"

With the prices Actel are suggesting for their latest parts, it could be quite economical.

If you don't want the hassle of doing the 8051 "soft" IP, you could always go for a Zylogic ZE5 (formerly Triscend E5) - which gives you a "Hard" 8051 and an FPGA on a single chip.
