Yes.

I believe TS 18661-4, providing C bindings to additional functions from 
IEEE 754-2008, will distinguish between the (optional) correctly-rounding 
functions bound to the "Recommended correctly rounded functions" in IEEE 
754-2008 Table 9.1, and functions providing approximations that need not 
be correctly rounded (so, for example, exp will remain as a function 
providing an approximation, crexp will be reserved for a correctly 
rounding version; rsqrt will be added for an approximation to reciprocal 
square root and crrsqrt will be reserved for a correctly rounding 
version).  (No public draft of parts 4 or 5 of this TS is yet available, 
but there's an old summary of plans at 
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1582.pdf>.)
