Are reference types allowed as template arguments?

i.e. is the following legal?

> template<class T> class X
>  {
>  // ...
>  };
>
> X<int&> xir;

If not, can anyone provide a reference (to April 95 or Jan 96 draft wp)
which states this.

If so, then what happens with

> template<class T> class X
>  {
>  T       & rt;
>  T const & rct;
>  // ...
>  };
>
> X<int&> xir;

What is the type of X<int&>::rt? X<int&>::rct?

Thanks in advance for any clues
