Right. An interesting fact is that Xnest also supports Xinerama (and
it shows in a list of extensions if "+xinerama" is specified), but all
screens always share the same (0,0) position, and I haven't find a way to
configure it.

Well, people in that thread give the same result -- Solaris machines
look like non-Xinerama-enabled.
Mark V. pointed me to X.org's Xinerama task force, but they haven't
released any docs/standards yet, and god knows when they will. Anyway,
current XFree's interface is already widespread (it is used by at least E,
SawFish (or is it SawMill?), Oroborus and Gnome).
Even if the interface changes in the future, we'll have no problems
adapting to it -- everything is incapsulated in
XineramaSupport::XineramaSupportInit() (plus little checks in configure).
P.S. There's no need to CC -- I'm on the list.
