Discussion:
The following wording seems a little unusual to me:
p42/43 22.9.2.3 [bitset.members]
bool operator==(const bitset<N>& rhs) const;-42- Returns: A nonzero value if the value of each bit in
*thisequals the value of the corresponding bit inrhs.bool operator!=(const bitset<N>& rhs) const;-43- Returns: A nonzero value if
!(*this == rhs).
"A nonzero value" may be well defined as equivalent to the literal 'true'
for Booleans, but the wording is clumsy. I suggest replacing "A nonzero value"
with the literal 'true' (in appropriate font) in each case.

It's obviously editorial. There's no need for further discussion.

Proposed resolution:
Change 22.9.2.3 [bitset.members] p42-43:
bool operator==(const bitset<N>& rhs) const;-42- Returns:
A nonzero valuetrueif the value of each bit in*thisequals the value of the corresponding bit inrhs.bool operator!=(const bitset<N>& rhs) const;-43- Returns:
A nonzero valuetrueif!(*this == rhs).
