I'm not so much into the internals of latex3 development. I think they try to generally overcome some fundamental limitations of LaTeX2e and set up a cleaner framework. In that sense, I think the core will support some basic things that were delegated to packages in 2e. Also, I think the framework will help to prevent package clashes (via namespaces etc.). > Now I wonder what will happen with XeTeX since LuaTeX is supposed to > replace or rather become new PDFTeX and will handle Unicode as well? Who knows? It's not unlikely that they will co-exist. XeTeX is actively developed and used. Even the creator of pdftex, Han The Than, recently made a significant contribution to XeTeX, namely margin kerning (the one missing feature of XeTeX wrt pdftex IMHO). > Sincerely, > Gour Jürgen
