That the Maelstrom is the next expansion isn't in doubt, due to the spot-on nature of the (again, pre-TBC) zone list.

That a "Cataclysm" would really lead to use suddenly being able to visit already-known Islands... not so sure of.

Then again, the timing with Blizzcons doesn't leave much leeway.
Either they are about to announce their next MMO, despite the WoW guys only moving over recently, which means Blizz would have three major projects in development (D3, SC2, and this new MMO), with various years of work ahead for each, and WoW's 3rd expansion wouldn't be announced until another 12 months from now (and thus not releasing until 2011).
-or-
It is just the next WoW expansion, launching somewhere between May & September of next year.

By that logic, Cataclysm is definitely WoW xpac 3.
