Proposed when? Until the standard is approved, there is no standard.

The HP C++ compiler that comes with HP-UX 10 will not compile the STL,
and they developed it (using Borland C++ I understand).

I would be very surprised if C++/370 could handle the STL, but I could
be wrong. Does it have name spaces? Run time information?
