STL-like hash tables were rejected by the committee at two separate
meetings.  The rejections stemmed from concerns about non-technical
issues such as schedule.

If by "next revision" you mean the 2nd Committee Draft, due next
spring, then the answer is no, not a chance.  If you mean the
revision that comes 5-years after the standard is complete, the
answer is that it is far too early to tell what will or will not be
included.
