Easy now, we have to digest C++11 first!  :-)

I believe an ISO standard has to remain stable for at least 5 years, 
so there can be no revisions before 2016. So perhaps somewhere in the 
2017-2020 range?

There has been an invitation for new ideas to be considered starting 
next year. Any concrete proposals will no doubt appear on the 
committee web site

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/

but nothing so far.
