On page 558 of N2914, aligned_storage is declared as follows:

    template <std::size_t Len, std::size_t Align> struct aligned_storage;

On page 567 in Table 41, it's declared like this:

    template <std::size_t Len, std::size_t Align = default-alignment>
    struct aligned_storage;

The (non-normative) note after the table declares it this way:

   template <std::size_t Len, std::size_t Alignment> struct aligned_storage;

The inconsistency in template parameter names is not a huge deal, but knowing
whether there's a default value for alignment is kind of important.

Looks like an editorial (or two).  I'll send it to Pete Becker, editorial
(at) versatilecoding (dot) com

Note that Pete appreciates having square bracketed references, rather than
just page numbers. (In this case: [meta.type.synop] and [meta.trans.other]).

Kind regards, Niels

And you should, too: the tags don't change in new drafts; page numbers
and section numbers do. Using tags is much less confusing.
