[ Moderator's comment: forwarded to C++ committee. The other DR
  from Martin von Loewis and Martin Sebor was also forwarded. -sdc ]

According to 14.1, [temp.param]/3, the following fragment is
ill-formed:

template<class T>
class X{
  friend void T::foo();
};

In the friend declaration, the 'T::' part is a nested-name-specifier
(8, [dcl.decl]/4), and 'T' must be a class-name or a namespace-name
(5.1, [expr.prim]/7). However, according to [temp.param]/3, it is only
a type-name. The fragment should be well-formed, and instantiations of
the template allowed as long as the actual template argument is a
class which provides a function member foo. As a result of this
defect, any usage of template parameters in nested names is
ill-formed, eg. in the example of 14.6, [temp.res]/2.

If you have questions about this report, please let me know.
