There is an up-to-date list of keywords in the documentation:
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.1/postgres/sql-keywords-appendix.html
As for predicting what keywords might become reserved in future PG
releases, my crystal ball is down at the moment ... but words that are
reserved in SQL99 would be good things to avoid.
