Will they display like they do on the DSi XL?

I mean it has enough screen real estate to do this. I would be disappointed if they only played in DS or DSi size windows.

It could stretch to the top and bottom of the screens. Of course I realise there would be black bars at the sides on the top screen, being non widescreen games.

supposedly DS games will look better on the Xl than it does on the regular 3DS even though the screen is bigger. because its using 1:1 pixel mapping.

That is not what I'm asking. I'm asking if the DS games played on 3DS XL will be comparable to playing on DSi XL in game window size?

Both screens will be larger @TC, I assume it will very similar to playing a DS game in a DSi XL, but is hard to say as none had tried yet. At worst case scenario, I'd assume it will look just like the 3DS emulatiom, only larger, no improvement expected. Remember 3DS XL resolution will be the same as the original 3DS, so, DS emulation should work the same Regards
