Hi,

This clause says "[Note: a namespace name or a class template name must
be unique in its declarative region (7.3.2 clause 14)"

However there is no clause 14 in 7.3.2.  I think the correct reference
should be 7.3.2 clause 4.

I checked the draft doc from the web in addition to a bound copy and
they both look the same.

It's a somewhat confusing reference, but it's right. It refers to two
places, section 7.3.2 and clause 14. The standard doesn't have
references to individual paragraphs, only to numbered sections.

Incidentally, the usual convention for referring to a particular
paragraph is 3.3/4. Even better, [basic.scope](3.3)/4 or some such. The
section tags stay the same as the draft develops. The section numbers
change.

I see.  So apparently a "Clause" is the same thing as a "Chapter".  I
was thinking a clause was a paragraph number, since all the chapters
are titled "Chapter X" and not "Clause X".

Yes.

Oops, I need to fix that. The 2003 standard just has the clause number
at the start of each clause. The "Chapter" is an artifact of the change
from troff to LaTeX, after the 2003 standard.

Why not making an innocent editorial fix here? :-) Also, could you
please have a look at Ivan's post on c.l.c++.m and my reply there? I
suspect there's a defect on this but I haven't checked the whole 7.3.

How nice :-) Could I ask what version of troff?
