As far as I can tell, the worst that could happen is that AUCTeX will 
make `xparse' commands support available regardless of whether the 
package is loaded.  So AUCTeX could help you insert a command that LaTeX 
wouldn't find, in which case, the user could load the package, since 
they want to use it.

Currently, it's the other way around, an user who has an up-to-date 
distribution, has to trick AUCTeX to think `xparse' is loaded, or to 
load it even though it is not needed.

Best regards,
Gustavo.
