If ANSI is making another standard, then it will probably be a few years before it is accepted in the work place (phase in time).

ANSI Z87.1 was updated and published in 2003. However, as OSHA still references the 1989 version, it is that version which is considered law. I expect that OSHA will eventually recognize the 2003 update, but the wheels of government turn very slowly.
From what I can see, there were not many significant changes. For a synopsis of those changes, check out the following:
