from the readme file:
The files of the expl3 bundle provide a low-level API for TeX
programmers with special syntax conventions, completely separating it
from document level syntax. Hence, the commands provided are not
intended for use at the document level nor for use in describing
design layouts in document class files.
This API provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other
advanced extensions are built. Special care has been taken so that
they can be used within a LaTeX2e context as regular packages.
users should review the rest of the (extensive) readme file for further
details.
note that the package's directory has moved location on ctan.
