Yes, that's still the idea.

No date, but when it is ready it will be called doxygen 2.0.

The big plan towards 2.0 is: 
- improve the way diagrams/hierarchies are displayed (for templates mostly).
- merge the now separate XML generator back into doxygen.
- investigate if it makes sense to use schema's i.s.o. DTD's
- add much more information to the XML output
  (structured documentation, descriptions of the diagrams, etc.)
- provide front-ends for HTML and LaTeX
  (I expect/hope that other front-ends (including man and RTF) are 
   provided and maintained people other than myself!)

In the meantime I try to handle any bug reports as well.
