The way I read this, the LENS for the Rebel is not
backwards compatible with the film-based EOS cameras. 
It does *not* say the Digital Rebel is incompatible
with EOS lenses.  This is a reason to skip the *lens*,
not the body.

>The new lens uses a modified EOS lens mount that
reaches farther into the body (and closer to the
surface of the image sensor) than do other Canon lens
mounts. The Digital Rebel accepts all existing Canon
EOS lenses, but the new mount paves the way for a
range of newer, smaller, and cheaper lenses designed
specifically for the Digital Rebel.>
