I would say that the Dragonborn is so powerfull that when (or if) he dies, he will have accumulated enough dragon souls, including Alduins, that Mundus would not be able to contain the power and the Dragonborn would either acend to godhood, become a Daedric Prince or even form his own plane of existence. He is so powerfull that he went to Sovngarde and at least 4 Daedric planes of existence and returned. He has also obtained all the Dragon priest masks, Daedric artifacts  and many dwemer artifacts. Furthermore, he is the potential leader of all the guilds and the Thane of every hold as well as the Arch-Mage of the College of WinterHold. He has contained the power of the Eye of Magnus, the god of Magic. He has also sworn to wreak havov on Tamriel with the weapons and armor the Daedric Princes gave to him, swearing alleginace to them as well. After almost every Daedric artifact you recive they say for you to wreak havoc on Tamriel.

So if the Dragonborn isn't powerfull enought to become a god, then at least he would be powerful enough to tell some "puny" Deadric Prince that he no longer swears allegience to him/her.

Another theory of mine is that when the Dragonborn dies his soul will be split across the planes for each to share.

To put the arguments down about Aedra being stronger then Daedra or vise versa, Deadra are deffinitly stronger because as a result of the Aedra leaving Mundus so late, their powers were weakened so much as to becoming mortal. the Deadra might not have as many followers, but they deffinitly make up for that in immortality.

The lore behind this, as some of you may not know, is that Lorkhan tricked the et'Ada (original spirits) into creating Mundus. Little did the know that it was draining their power. Magnus realized this and fled early on creating the sun. soon after, many others realized this and fled only after their power were greatly weakened, creating the stars.
