I found this:
Future versions of Logic Pro will also include support for enhanced 
Apple Loops, the powerful open-standard file format for real-time 
matching of audio loops and sound effects. The Apple Loops format 
offers richer information than standard audio files, so users can 
quickly find a loop by instrument, genre or mood. Future versions of 
Logic Pro will be able to import MIDI performance and channel strip 
configuration data contained in the new software instrument form of 
Apple Loops. These special files can be used either as audio loops or 
software instrument MIDI loops, providing unprecedented flexibility 
for loop-based composition. With Apple Loops support, future versions 
of Logic Pro will easily import projects from GarageBand.....

But no mention of the .exs instruments.
It makes sense for Logic Pro to (eventually) be able to have this 
compatibility.

Anyone else.....?
