Not in Denali. There's a "futures" list on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189822.aspx

of the 273 future keywords on that list, 78 of them appear with syntax highlighting in SSMS 2008...and many of them are what i'd consider reserved words....datatypes like int and smallint.

I guess i datatypes and objects deserving of syntax highlighting are not the same as "keywords"?
