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.).

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).
