I don't think that Xinerama will be developed any further. XRandR 
replaces all of its functionality and adds even more features (xrandr 
can be used to configure the hardware whereas xinerama can not).

See this document:

I don't think properties will be going away anytime soon. The xserver is 
now adding properties to input devices as well. So pretty much any 
'object' inside the xserver can now have properties. Properties are a 
generic mechanism to extend existing functionality.
