[comp.lang.fortran] A new standard of fortran?

Hello, 

I saw mentioned somewhere in here that there is going to be a new standard
of fortran. Fortran 80 or 90, I'm just wondering what features it will have

As far the C vs. Fortran, I do believe there is areas in which Fortran 
could improve. Science and Mathematics is getting more and more visually
orienated every year. A person more often needs to see a picture of
what is actually going on to even to begin to understand it (especially
in Dynamical Systems) it would be nice if fortran had some graphics
capability.

There are just so many things that do seem useless and anachronistic in
fortran anymore.
