Re: release plans

I ran across the successor ML the other day which featured the bold  
statement:

    Standard ML, being incapable of evolution, is dead.

As exaggerated as that statement seems, I've noticed a fair amount of  
discussion about the desried for some nice "to-haves" in ML.  Is  
there any organized effort to upgrade SML to include some of these  
features ?  And by organized I mean standards-based.
