I think he meant (and he's right) that sometimes it's necessary to
write different pieces of code to achieve the same functionality under both
Emacsen. A constant effort is done to preserve compatibility, especially in
the semantics of the Elisp functions and their user interface, but diverging a
bit is unfortunately something unavoidable. Even the bytecode is becoming
incompatible these days...
However, soon you're going to have a `fsf-compat' package under XEmacs
which will take care of translating Emacs calls into XEmacs ones.
