I think conceptually, this is indeed the better way to go.
Eli's comments already pointed out some technical difficulties you'll
have to overcome, so I'll limit myself to one more comment:
> * lisp/subr.el (user-emacs-directory): Use "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs/"

I think for simple reasons of backward compatibility, if both
"$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs/" and "~/.emacs.d/" exist, we should use
"~/.emacs.d/".
