I had the exact same question when preparing the Euro News article linked above and it got answered by DT-Swiss unmistakeably: The XR 29er wheels will be OE on the SCOTT Scale only, no aftermarket sales for 2011. That said I am getting hints that DT-SWISS´s´ involvement in the 29er movement is picking up momentum. I wouldn´t be toos surprised to a high end XC wheel set from them in 2012 - this could be the carbon rimmed XR or something else. Let´s wait and see ;-).

Yes- the Stan's strip may be lighter, but the implications otherwise are the same regarding either Stan's or DT Swiss' rims. (In fact, Stan's makes a rim strip for DT Swiss TK 7.1 rims, as I recall) The only rims that eliminate rim strips altogether are UST type, but often these get slagged for their heavier extrusions. :) @dman: Stan’s rims require a rim strip as well, so the point is….?
