The STL WILL be part of the C++ standard.  But the standard
defines the interface to the STL and what functionality it 
should provide, but does not dictate a particular implementation.

Right now, there a dozens of STL implementations floating about.
Most are matched to older drafts of the standard, some to the
latest draft.  Some are just versions of the HP public domain
implementation, some are commercial implementations for sale,
and some are updated versions to work around deficiencies in
particular compilers.
