<td colspan="5" class="print">The rules for template restrictions of
actual in and out parameters in the restriction 5.4.2.d do not match
those described in 15.8.b.<br />
<br />
The first set of rules (5.4.2.d) say that templates with certain
restriction cannot be used at all as an actual parameter while the
second set of rules (15.8.b) states that only the content should be
checked at the time of parameter assignment (dependent on the tool, in
compile time or runtime).<br />
<br />
Proposal:<br />
Remove the hard restriction for in and out parameters from 5.4.2.d and
replace it with a soft (content-related) restriction or a reference to
the rules described in 15.8.</td>

<td class="print">The rules have been designed specifically to allow
tools that do compile-time checking to help the user avoid unwanted
situations and also allow tools to avoid runtime-checking.<br />
<br />
Of course, this could also be changed into (then probably oftimes
ignored) warnings and runtime-checks that only are done in case that a
warning was issued, i.e. when the current hard conditions are
violated.<br />
<br />
From the user perspective, I still think that the hard restriction is
more helpful as it helps identify potential problems better. These
problems can be solved by adding/removing template restrictions to
declarations and we often have found lots of real errors that way at
compile-time which otherwise would have been very hidden and hard to
trace back at runtime.</td>
