[lib.locale.codecvt.virtuals] is 22.2.1.5.2 in the 2003 standard. It=20 moved to 22.2.1.4.2 in the current working draft. In general, references to the working draft should be by the label and=20 not by [sub]section numbers. Those numbers will change as things are=20 added or modified. The labels will stay the same. Well, almost the same: the initial "lib." is about to go away. That=20 makes it much easier to find things in an alphabetical list that maps=20 labels to section numbers, which will be included in the next revision=20 of the working draft. --=20 -- Pete Author of "The Standard C++ Library Extensions: a Tutorial and=20 Reference."
