Roth 401(k)s were created as part of W's 2001 EGTRRA tax package.  That 
law said that beginning in 2006, employers would have the option of 
having 401(k) accounts whose contributions are treated as Roth 
contributions (after-tax contributions, tax-free growth and withdrawal). 
  Employees with the option will be able to choose to save within a 
401(k) or the Roth 401(k) or both.  You don't get to double up on your 
contribution limit, however.  The contribution limit applies to the 
total that is put into both accounts.

Anyone have an employer that is planning on starting a Roth 401(k) plan 
(might be too early in 2005 to know...)?
