It just sounds to me as a warning to prematurely rejecting compilers. IMO a much better way to word this would be along the way of "A template that is made ill-formed by a rule not in this paragraph is still well-formed as long as a valid specialization can be generated for it." As it is stated in the Standard, it sounds like the rule talks about well-formed templates only. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ISO C++ Standard - Future Proposals" group.
