The proposed resolution to Library Issue 371 contains a typo.  This issue
concerns the stability of the insert and erase member functions of multiset
and multimap.  But the proposed resolution does not mention multiset and
multimap; it mentions set and map instead.  It says the following:

    Add the following to the end of 23.1.2 [lib.associative.reqmts]
paragraph 4: "For set and map, insert and erase are stable: they preserve
the relative ordering of equivalent elements

  This does not address the original defect report. Also, it is irrelevant,
as set and map cannot contain equivalent elements.

Your concerns have been noted (and thanks).  Note that N1780 also
addresses this issue and suggests alternative wording (which has not yet
been reviewed).
