Probably makes sense that they are going to balance the factions across the two continents, so the new Horde starting area will be in Azeroth/Lordaeron and the Alliance one will be in Kalimdor.
If Blood Elves are going to be the new Horde race, then it makes sense that it'll be in Quel'thalas. Thing is Quel'Thalas isn't that far from Undercity. Also, it kinda hard to put in lowbie areas ala Barrens/Loch Modan/Westfall/etc. adjacent to Quel'Thalas seeing that it's smack in the Eastern Plaguelands.
As such, it might just be that the new Horde race is going to be based behind the Greymane Wall, where Gilneas should be, so as to be able to 'share' Silverpine Forest with the Forsaken.
That would also mean that the new Alliance race would have to start somewhere where they can 'share' Darkshore with the Night Elves.
I'm really interested in seeing how they are going to deal with the zone buffering issue.
