I'm afraid that I'm the one that led Steve astray on this, and I did it because
of the following text

2 A  non-type  non-reference  template-argument  shall  be  a  constant-
  expression of non-floating type, the address of an object or  a  func
  tion  with  external  linkage,  or a non-overloaded pointer to member.
  The address of an object or function shall be expressed as &f, plain f
  (for  function only), or &X::f where f is the function or object name.
  In the case of &X::f, X shall be a  (possibly  qualified)  name  of  a
  class  and  f  the  name of a static member of X.  A pointer to member
  shall be expressed as &X::m where X is a (possibly qualified) name  of
  a  class  and  m  is the member name.

I combined this with my memories of an earlier version of the DWP where the
distinction between pointer to member and pointer to member function was
made.  I just checked that area in the draft and this is entirely consistent
with the current wording.

I'm sorry, there was a bit of "anachronism" there.
