The proposal in the LTE standard is not to use high-power transmissions, like those used for macrocells in licensed spectrum, in the unlicnensed band. This wouldn't be allowed anyway by existing regulations. The proposal is to use a form of LTE with low-powered tranmissions (in fact subject to exactly the same regulatory limits as WiFi) in the unlicensed band.
All unlicensed band technologies are subject to the same regulations on power levels. While of course these may be changed I don't think there is a realistic chance that, even with heavy lobying, one particular technology would ever be given different rules from all the others.
Basically all unlicensed technologies have to coexist as best they can. WiFi interfers with other WiFi users. Bluetooth interferes with WiFi etc. The questions are:
1) whether LTE-Us coexistence strategy is reasonable
2) whether the economic power of the carriers means that LTE-U might be deployed so densely that other users of unlicensed spectrum suffer degraded service
