Xvid/Dvix did not go away when H.264 came out
both are in the mpeg-4 standard (mpeg4-part 2 and mpg4-part 10)

Xvid/Dvix is supported on TV/PMP/etc
H.264 is suported on IPAD/Ipod/I* devices

Xvid/Dvix can play on lower-end devices
H.264 need a higher-end device

my feeling is:
theora well become the Xvid of the future and
webM well become the h.264 of the future
there still well be some mpeg formate
