FWIW, I agree. XEmacs's C implementation should not be used as an excuse to go backwards here. In fact (Richard, would you please confirm?) it may be a good idea to use the Lisp implementation as a base to avoid legal issues if it looks "too much like" XEmacs code (the problem is that AFAIK you have looked at the XEmacs code, so couldn't swear that it's not an unintentional copy of someone else's code).
