Yes, all your libraries and files are transferrable. DXP does a great job of moving files in both directions. Although there are so many expanded features and new capabilities, backward translations to 99SE from DXP are not a thing to do lightly.
There aren't many "gotchas" moving from 99SE to DXP at this point. DXP does a more rigorous design rule check, and will flag potential errors that 99SE might have missed. Your 'Demorgans' should translate nicely. I've never had a problem opening and using libraries from either 99SE or 98.

cool, that's what i thought, thanks Harry
but i thought you were a DXP'er ??
if you are, please tell me i am not wasting a HUGE amount of time building a very big pile of schematic symbols in 99SE, i.e. that they will be fully transportable to DXP if and when we ever do that
we have chosen the painful path of making a unique sch symbol with exact match up to EACH part in our newish MRP system
so this makes for a lot of seemingly duplicate symbols
(
i use the royal 'we' here so that if this was a poor choice at least 'I' didn't make it :)
)
i do recall brad's admontion about spaces in footprint names and will audit for that, is there anything else?
i use a lot of 'demorgan' and 'ieee' symbols which are in fact just alternate graphics for the given symbol
things pointing different ways or big and small versions, that sort of thing
i understand these 'demorgan's should come across as well, correct ?

I can confirm that he is wrong. None of the problems he cites exist on my WinXP Pro (SP2+all patches to date) installation of 99SE.
If he is really having all those problems, he may be running WinXP home edition or he has some installation problem peculiar to his system.
99SE is very stable under WinXP Pro - at least it has been for me.
