Section: 28.3.4.4.2 [locale.numpunct.byname] Status: CD1 Submitter: Martin Sebor Opened: 2001-05-12 Last modified: 2016-01-28

Discussion:
The definition of the numpunct_byname template contains the following comment:
namespace std {
template <class charT>
class numpunct_byname : public numpunct<charT> {
// this class is specialized for char and wchar_t.
...
There is no documentation of the specializations and it seems conceivable that an implementation will not explicitly specialize the template at all, but simply provide the primary template.
Proposed resolution:
Remove the comment from the text in 22.2.3.2 and from the proposed resolution of library issue 228.
