Doom3 still use .map files as SRC for maps that at not change very much, and exist a number of Quake3 to Doom3 tools. I asume still use func_* stuff.
As for abstraction, a first step can be to design from top to bottom a AI engine. I have some ideas from the book "AI for Game Developers" (O'REILLY).
Anyway, you can start a new engine (hl2, d3,..) from scrach and still use the same ideas and even structures. This is "reformulation".
I bet HL2 maps will still use .map files.

I don't know, but Source isn't based on anything, AFAIK it was written from scratch.

I have another fun mad idea:
Write a new SDK from scrach that compile the gamex86.dll that Doom3
need,
and the stuff that need Half-Life2. Has both engines will support similar technology ( Doom3 is Quake3 based, and Half-Life 2 is Half-Life 1 base, and Quake3 is Quake1 based and Half-Life1 is Quake 1 based ) can be theorically posible to write a object system that may abstract the differences. So the mod may compile for both targets. Maybe even future new engines can be added to support even more engines and games. Say... maybe you can write a "CS-alike" mod and you can compile for game Half-Life2, but you may also compile for other game that also use Half-Life2 engine.
Write once, run anywhere.
Example code:
mod.load( "instant_fun" ); mod.mass = 200; mod.fun = mod::MAX_FUN;
world.node[client.mynode].Add(mod);
